Oh, and Lotus IMO need to look out as this car is lighter, faster and cheaper than an Elise.
Its good to see an alternative to Lotus coming along and I hope they succeed because I cant see Lotus staying in business a lot longer for the reasons I have said in another thread.
Lets face it with the basic boxter s listed at 47k why would you want to buy an elise s at 39k? Sure they are wonderfully tactile cars to drive and they do go and handle well but the porker is equally good, and isnt as hardcore / track day. You can get in and out of it easily. The internal finish is what you would expect of a mass produced car. There is room for normal sized people. The only real disadvantages are the image and the depreciation.
I wont buy a Zenos - sadly I need something more grown up these days, but had it been available when I was looking to buy my Lotus it would have been a serious contender.
