Copy paste on these really. At these they're all lookers.

There's a bit of Lambo and a bit of Aston in there.

Esprit looks like the bastard child of an R8 and DB9, with a 430 tugging itself in the corner holding the camera.

got some ferrari'ish looks also in there.
Some play it safe on the merry-go-round, others go for the thrills of the roller-coaster.

I like them all.
The only thing we really need is a good tune, good view & a good brew.

generic, boring and safe in my opinion. Lotus have always had very distinctive designs, yet these look just like they've come out of any of the other german car makers design officers. They don't look like what Lotus is all about, which is a smallish stylish car built as lightly as possible. It look like Lambo, Aston Martin and Lexus got together to design them. They aren't the sort of things Chapman would have made, where as the old Elise is exactly what he would have made. Nice looking cars, but they've all been made before.
