Just had a look in my copy of evo. 
Very nice, look forward to seeing it in the flesh.
Traction control and abs as well. Switchable?
Says it is using the ford ecu, is that right?
Overall looks very nice, and thank god they have got rid of the rover wing mirrors!!!!
Well done Noble.
Now about the warrenty.......

Mr. Evo has just arrived...
Well, we all know that 2-D photos in a magazine can't do justice to the real McCoy but my initial thought (on the visuals) is what happened to the beautiful M14???
After just digging out the two-year old "launch" photos for comparison I have to say that (the M14) looks far better all round! In particular I'm not sure at all about the styling of the M15's instrument and centre console working or the side view!
Points of note:
- Rear lights don't have enclosures - they must have listened to us about the misting up (and hopefully? the bulb changing)!
- Rear wing is part of the butresses - cool
- Door handles hidden under the door scoops - neat (TVR?)
- Seats look very comfy and supportive
- Blue colour - well nah - Silver will make it look a $M - you'll see J
- M14 steering wheel control buttons - they've gone?!
All comments IMHO and from this article alone. Awaiting the real McCoy!
I bet all you people who saw the car last week are biting your lips furiously as a ya can't say much in response can ye?!?!?!
SHOOT - I'VE JUST NOTICED THE DATE - COULD THIS BE A YOLK?!

Hi Rob
My EVO arrived today as well. Opened the double page spread front view and thought WOW, that is beautiful. Great proportions, sweeping curves, clean lines and lovely details, mirrors, light cluster etc. Next page, interior, HUGE step up from the M12, functional, understated and stylish, although you can't guage the quality of materials or "feel" just from the pics. Hopefully those that have sat inside can comment? Next pic, side on, hmmmm, not too sure about the long overhangs, final pic, the rear! What have they done?! The M14 was fantastic from the rear, but this looks like the arse of a Corvette Z06
.I think you might be right Rob and someone has made that one up in photoshop.
The good news is that driving experience sounds like the dogs danglies.

Just to play along with your comments Rob,
Have you (or anyone) ever seen a new car that looks better in print photos than in real life?
I believe there is more to come in Autocar on Tuesday and of course the Noble website on the same day.
Cheers,
Ian.
Sure, point taken Ian - I did say my comment were from a pure 2D (studio) vision.
Had a closer look now and have to add that the interior door-pulls don't look comfortable (to hand) at all and the speaker location would suggest serenading the side of the seats!
Also noticed...
- the two air vents in the rear glass engine cover - it must need them!
- the unusual way the door glass decends into the door a la "Stratos" (I wonder how far down it goes?).
- that there must be side intrusion protection as there's a high lip above the door sill -good!
On a positive note (and beleive me I am positive and I know how magnificent an achievement the M15 is) this effort looks and sounds pure "tea-boy" - as usual Lee is mightily interested in the driving dynamics of the car and less so with what remains (he's demonstrated this time after time and that's OK).
Like the rest of us I REALLY want to drive this car on a track but, as I doubt I'd ever get it close to its limits, I'd like tea-boy to show me what it does in person...
Lee, sterling effort and am awaiting your call with spare underpants at the ready!
