I was a bit shocked when Lotus came out with the big photo showing its 5 new models (or was it 6?).

For it seems, I have been waiting just as long for the new NSX as the new Esprit... now that I've seen both, I wonder if anyone else feels that the new NSX is too close to the new Lotus "look"?

Personally.... I thought the new Esprit, Evora, Eterne, Elan, Elite, Elise? all looked the same and all looked kind of dull in their modern design approach that tries too hard and doesn't seem to hit the target as a new overall shape (like the 458 did)... I just see lots of lines, headlights, and bumpers that look busy, but a overall car that is generic mid-engine shape. (lump the new Mclaren MP4-12C in with this as well)
