Finally collected my new car today after work and had a nice drive back home in it, a lot of looks and comments came my way with the highlight of it being called ‘sexy car’ by some girls (possible teenagers maybe little older, was more focused on the road ahead)

A more in depth review shall come at some point in the future... watch this space > <

Well, I knew this day would come - so here goes...; I am jealous of your Vauxhal l.

Can’t believe those words actually came out.

I am as disgusted as I am proud of you. I’m so confused.

it’s certainly going to take some getting used to when pushing on but as a typical gentle drive it’s not too bad, the ride isn’t as harsh as you would expect

I’m currently resisting the urge to whack on the m62 supercharger

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Tareim - V8 powered 05/02/2017 at 15:57

Its gorgeous. Also I fee like such a noob for thinking this and the Saturn Sky were the same car.

will do, I’ll steal the Jalop review template and knock something up in a month or so once I’ve had enough time with it

No it doesn’t. It’s an Elise, not a Sky.

Gonna have to deduct some cool points...

That’ll bring it to: 9.9/10 would drive.

haha, the 2.2 is the better engine though :)

Awesome! For some reason it looks way bigger than an Elise.

Yeah it’s clear where the Sky’s design came from.

So much cooler than the Solstice/Sky twins. Built on the same line as the Elise.

it sure was, Vauxhall/GM helped Lotus out financially for the S2 and got the VX in return

GM does have transverse V8's, though...

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Amoore100 05/02/2017 at 18:39

But not a 6.2 that bolts right in. Or one that bolts right in for that matter.

Obviously, for sure. But with some work, anything can have a V8...
