I work across the road from a Lotus dealership and I have a friend that is a salesman there. Maybe when they come in he will let me go into their warehouse, dry hump one, and then beat off to it. That thing is hot.

I remember well the beautiful, elegant designs of Colin Chapman's Lotus cars....this looks like a Japanese and Italian hybrid. Nice but not a Lotus.

Why does Lotus insist on making it completely impossible to see out the back of their cars. Don't get me wrong, I'd take this or an Exige in a second, but if you want to do a trademark rear window treatment, how about something that's not quite so likely to result in my death in normal street driving.

^^^You can't drive without a rear-view mirror? I drove for weeks without a rear-view mirror in my Altima commuting 40+ miles a day in Orange County where the drivers are horrendous.. I just relied on the side view mirrors and looking over the shoulder.
As long as the car decent sightlines over the sides a decent rear-view isn't totally necessary. True, most supercars have poor sightlines and ginormous blind-spots.
