One of the gifts from my new wife :] Need to collect them all. They include the classic Tsuru taxi and those crazy micro bus.

many Evora. The green one is our only 2014 in stock. The owner of my dealer had a sweet yellow strip added to its class British racing green.

While I don't approve of striping an Evora...your job is awesome. What's the cheapest Evora? Do you ever sell Elise(s)?

we are out of Elise and Exige for a couple years now, America won't let us sell the new versions here just yet. We still have some 2012 Evora in stock at $12,000 off. "Red Tag" specials at around $62k ish. That green Evora S is running around $94k ish

That's simply awesome!
Also, I initially read the mark on the door with a 'P' instead of an 'R', lol.

I would love an Evora but I just can't justify one over an Exige. Never knew if older models came in for you to sell. Do you work for an exotic car dealership or is it mainly Lotus?

Awesome, thanks for the link. Do a lot of S60Rs come in? I've been oogling that car for a while now.

Every now and then just for regular service stuff. Those true R cars are awesome. V70R as well.

That's the famous wagon, correct? What do you mean by true R cars? I'm a Volvo noob.

The new car, 09 and up, are R-Design. A new S60 R-Design is separated purely on design elements unlike the S60R of the 2000's. Those had a lower ride height, active suspension, AWD, and and different turbo running high boost over a regular S60. Today, the new R-Design is just that, exterior and interior design elements (bumpers, seats, decals) and a slight remap of boost for an extra 25HP. Kinda like a BMW 3 series M-Sport and an actual M3. Volvo doesn't make an M3 competitor at the moment.

This is my problem with M sport and V sport. It's a car that couldn't quite make it in my opinion. Definitely considering the S60R as a next vehicle, only problem is it not being a huge change from a Legacy GT.

The S60R 2004-2007 was made to compete with e46 M3. It's a quick and capable AWD high boost car. The Four-C active suspension is awesome. The new S60 2009 and up on the other hand is R-design. Not a slow car by any means, turbo I-6 with AWD 325hp. Might not seem like a lot of HP but the chassis puts it all down very well... but not E92 M3 competitor, more of 335i M-sport competitor. I say just drive them both. A 335i M-Sport is quicker than an e46 M3. I feel the same way about the new S60 R-design and the old S60R.
