+1

I'd start with the proportions. I thought it was going to be bigger and actually look like a 2+2...

The design itself looks typical Lotus, infact it even looks softer in some places. I wouldnt say it looks cheap, cus it doesnt, but it does look BLAND. It need better surface detail and needs to have more aggressive bumpers etc.

I'm not going to start on the rear end. It's just a copy of current Lotus', the design language hasnt moved on much. The interior is very nice though. Looks really good.

I am a BIG fan of the cockpit style roof and window lines....

Where the roof and window line start up high at the windshield and then slope downward as it goes toward the end of the window line.

like this...

Here's an idea of the size relative to an Elise and how passengers would fit:

That is a really good graphical pic.....!

Anyway, 2+2 is out of the question....The diagram shows the chick sitting behind the dude is getting killed .. Ever so slowly

Where's the actual seat? She's leaning on his back to keep him upright!

Yeah, I saw this. You should post this in the M3 vs. section as a new thread.

I think they should not have gone for the 2+2 setup and pulled the engine forward for a mid-engine layout. Even Porsche saw the light with the Cayman. Why is Lotus going backwards?
