Pros and cons
In Canada, the 2010 Lotus Evora starts at $84,200.The optional rear seats add a mere $680 to that price (the two-seat base model is referred to as "2+0" by the company), which means that a new Evora costs $18,900 more than a 2010 Porsche Cayman.
The latter offers much better all-around visibility, superior cockpit ergonomics and two trunks instead of one. Moreover, stepping inside the German sports coupe requires a lot less flexibility!
On the other hand, the Lotus boasts a super-solid architecture (aluminum chassis with fiberglass body) that makes wear and tear irrelevant. The engine promises a high level of reliability and could, in extreme cases, be repaired almost anywhere. Finally, the provocative design makes every onlooker weak in the knees. And since no more than 2,000 units will be sold on the planet, Evora buyers will enjoy the kind of exclusiveness that not even a Cayman can match.
By Jove!
