Heh.

I suppose if it were anyone else other than Cruise, no one would've made such a big deal about it... Sweat

new Lotus... Lotus Elite The Lotus Evora gave us a hint of where the company's design language was headed, but we still weren't quite prepared for the sleek, angular lines of the Lotus Elite ($180,000). Powered by a front/mid-engine 5-Liter V8 sourced from the Lexus IS F and hooked to an automatic tranny with optional use of hybrid technology with KERS, the Elite boasts 611hp, a 0-100 km/h time of roughly 3.6 seconds, and a top speed of 195 mph, this retractable hardtop 2+2 is primed to vault Lotus into the supercar market in a big �\ and stylish �\ manner

It's cool, but it better be for that price...you are definitely in some rarefied company at 180,000 clams

For sure.

At those prices, I'd be looking at Porsches and Ferraris.

Yeah for that kind of coin you're in that league! The Lotus does have over 600 brake horsepower though...that's Lambo territory.

True.

Yet with all that bhp, it can't top 200mph? Head Scratch

And an automatic tranny? bleh

I suppose the shifter is on the steering column, like my grandfather's Plymouth Valiant. hehe

Along with the 85mph max on the speedo. rofl

I'd have to say I would've broken off the indicator needle on numerous occasions. hehe

In the spirit of the 85 mph speedo I have installed speed governors on all my cars.
