Since I was a LCI member with some subscription left to run, they've sent me a copy of the new Lotus magazine.

Anyone else received one ?

Any thoughts on this 3-times-a-year, £20 an issue element of the brand ?

Was only thinking yesterday about my membership as I paid for 3 years a couple of years ago. New magazine turned up this morning. Haven't really had a good look at it but from a quick look through I preferred the old format. Don't think I would pay £20.00 for an issue, perhaps that means I don't fit the profile for thier new precieved customer base! On the topic of LCI does anyone know how to access the web site now. I now it wasn't brilliant but since the new group lotus site has been up I haven't been able to access it at all?

Mine arrived last week.

Nice publication, although it tells me that my car is lifestyle choice not just a car. Not sure what to make of that.

Appears to be well put together, the feel of it reminds of a GRRC publication.

Not sure I will be renewing my subscription if its just for an overpriced magazine rather than a Lotus Club. Does this mean the affiliation to other organisations (eg insurance) and discounts are no longer available? Time will tell.

If the benefits outweigh the cost, I could be persuaded that the doubling of the subscription is worth it, for now I'm undecided (probably got another year left of my last 3 year subscription).
