So I know some BoLOCs saw the fabled car and met the lotus techies. What was it like?

Its awsome, sat in it took photos and asked questions. Thanks to Chris and Ben for organizing at such short notice, and was great to see andrewm.

Car up close feels bigger than you think, but has so much presence. I think it could be a bargin up against its rivals, if they get the build quality right it will sell in bucket loads.

Oh the interior is cloud9

I have never thought about streching the car budget for a 911 but am giving this some consideration, but will have to drive one first.

Nice car, sure it will be quick, but I'm still not convinced. If it was less than £50k loaded, then it would be a no brainer. Unfortunately it's competing with some very heavy hitters in the used market once it breaks the £50k barrier... that for me is the biggest kicker.

Ive had the pleasure of sitting in one recently, truely awesome. I was totally blown away by it.

The pictures do not do the car justice. In the flesh the car looks so much better, the car you hoped Lotus would unveil.

The driving position is fantastic, the style of the interior is brilliant.

In a way it didn't feel like sitting in a Lotus due to all the gadgets/creature comforts, but then in a different way it felt every bit like sitting in a Lotus.

If I could afford one I would have put down my deposit there and then, but unfortunately I cant :-(

Is it still the same as the one at the motorshow?

At the show I got the chance to open the doors and play with the seats etc. Thought it was Ok, interior is not bad, but nothing special. I'd need to drive it to make a choice but certainly wouldnt be rushing to buy based on what I have seen.

It may have changed though...

No, it's not changed significantly from the motorshow as far as I'm aware, though I don't know if the motorshow car was showing off the accent lighting.

Out of interest, what interior would you classify as something special?
