A Lotus but by another name

I picked up my new Lotus Thursday, after disposing of my Elise SC in part exchange. I loved the Elise, quick, nimble and light. However, I paid a visit to look at my daughters Elise which is there for some TLC after an idiot opened his door into her car.
Anyway, while at CN's I spied a bright yellow convertible and asked for a test drive, not thinking it would be much better than my current Elise.
Well OMG would be an understatement .... I was just blown away. The car was monterously agile, quick and stunningly good looking.

So, over the following few days and lots of pontification I eventually decided to buy what I believe to be the ultimate incarnation of a Lotus road car.... A V6 Exige. Maybe not to the classic owner's taste, but to me everything I always wanted in a Lotus.....

Simply stunning, no matter if your just looking at it, or driving it... An amazing car!!!

Mark, good call! I too wanted to trade my much loved supercharged Elise in for an Exige, but it was the smaller boot space that put me off
