They should be intrigued. Car looks WAY WAY better than the Huracan next to it. Style & design wise, it's an exotic car plain and simple.
And that design is SO reasonable for what you get. Even at FE 2.0 pricing. 
Nothing available currently looks better for the same money. NOTHING PERIOD!!

I lowered it slightly and am considering dropping it more and getting bigger wheels, would definitely make that meaner stance. I'm going to drive it more this summer and then get it in the shop for the winter and get it all dialed in.

Been in the market for new SUV for wife for about a year and finally placed order for 2025 Range Rover LWB 7 seater in Constellation Blue. Hoping it is here by September. Upgraded seats, rims, sound system, and shadow pack on the exterior. Can’t wait!

Lambos are everywhere nowadays, Lotus you dont see everyday and frankly not alot of people know what they are. Id think it was a Ferrari if I didnt know tbh. Looks great in that blue on black.
Also that spec on the Huracan next to you is tragic.
Color and wheels are trash.

Believe me, I needed both hands to count how many times people confused my wife's Evora GT for a McLaren whenever we had it out the first few weeks. Either that or some didn't even know who Lotus is. Best question, "what is it?" "A Lotus" "Who makes Lotus?"
And I will tell you, you are SO WRONG about that color. That's Blue Ageir. I know that color well as a friend had a Evo Spyder for a bit and the color in person is AMAZING!! What's wrong with it in your opinion?

I heard the exchange between a mom and her son
Mom: That's a Lotus
Son: What's a Lotus?
Mom: That
Mom: That's a Lotus

Well tickle me sideways I didnt know an opinion could be wrong.
Nah I just dont like that shade of blue, it looks kinda desaturized.

We all have opinions
if I was some horrific matte color, I'm all with you. Believe me in person this color isn't desaturized. It's the fact it doesn't translate well from a camera. It's a beautiful metallic blue with some aqua in it. I'm sure you can find a pic from a dealer who has much better equipment that will represent the color better. Plus, blue is my #1 color for cars with purple a very close 2nd.

Im watching Doug's review on the Lotus, yo its a supercharged CAMRY engine.
Sounds good though, and atleast its probably reliable as hell.
The exposed shifter linkage though behind the mesh and the visible throttle body
thats a cool as hell touch. It really is a beautiful car, the side profile view is probably my fav. Gives me 911 Turbo vibes with that back vent x McLaren 720 general shape.

You never knew it was the 2GR-FE engine from a Camry? They've used that motor since 2010 when the Evora first came out. It's the basis yes but NOT the exact same. Lotus works it. Exhaust camshafts are different, as is the injectors & ECU. Plus the Edelbrock supercharger. It doesn't sound like any Camry you've ever heard before
And do a 3rd cat delete on any Evora (the 3rd cat right before the exhaust, which has no monitors for O2, and is ONLY there to appease California CARB law and noise variants. Remove that, add the delete pipe (a $250 part from GRP) and it screams like a racecar as it climbs to 7,000! I've had so many people say they can't believe the Evora GT sounds the way it does. Especially for a Camry motor.
And yes, reliability is the best part about it. Oil changes are literally a $8 filter and $40 of oil from Walmart and a couple hours of one's time (getting the rear diffuser off is a PITA with all the bolts). Only issue really is, when it's time for a clutch, the motor has to come out. Which means the rear clam has to come off. Not cheap, but it's something that isn't even worried about 'till well down the road.
An Evora GT owner on Instagram just had his clutch done at 90,500 mile. And he DRIVES the car. All over the country. Definitely NOT babied! So for someone who drives their car a few thousand miles a year it's NOTHING to even consider worrying about.
Just one of the MANY reasons I love the EVORA GT. I love the Emira, I just HATE the seats! Like, really dislike them. You sit on them and not in them. Hopefully they add the Sparco buckets from the GT as an option. THOSE are wonderful!!

found oneTBH call me sacrilegious....I'd remove the wing for daily driving, throw it back on for the track (if possible)
love the fenders and added aero pieces.....just cant get with the shopping cart spoiler aesthetically (yes yes, I know its active aero, and drastically improves stability and reduces drag etc.)
the mini duck tail is
Guess I'm a sacrilegious heathen, and not alone.

I think this is whats hurting Lotus in the state. Even thought Toyota's claim to fame is cheap, low maintence reliablity .Im watching Doug's review on the Lotus, yo its a supercharged CAMRY engine.

Mine has been solid so far, knock on wood… But the issues I’m seeing most are unrelated to the Toyota power plant, more like AC resistors getting wet and the AC stops working. Lots of electrical gremlins from low charged batteries too.
Also the sound system sucks, I put a subwoofer in mine that’s pretty easy to remove

Its true, most people when they ask about the car are expecting some exotic V12 or something crazy.I think this is whats hurting Lotus in the state. Even thought Toyota's claim to fame is cheap, low maintence reliablity .
I have no problem admitting its not the fastest car i've driven, but it is one of the most fun to drive.

It doesn't hurt it, trust me. As much as I LOVE the Esprit V8 Twin Turbos (and the Esprit was my dream car growing up) I'm scared to death of what they cost to service, hence I won't buy one if I had the $$$. Plus if the belts go, bye bye engine (it's an interference engine). The cost to service one is routinely $3-5k as they always need something. And if they aren't driven often, it really hurts them.
The V6 in the Evora GT, can sit for months with ZERO issues (as long as it's on tender). It's basically bulletproof. It's why the Elises can go over 100k miles easily with normal maintenance of the 2ZZ 4-cylinder.

A car looking like that with maintenance costs that won't leave you in tears is great to me.

77k for a Camry kit car is a tough sell
beautiful body work though
