We've just got the 2015's in my dealer and they've added a couple new features. I need to spend more time in one.

Trust me Brian, it will fall apart on its own lol. Well, the 2015 are hopefully better. I think so.

I had that out of place color change stereo. Piece of shit never let me make hands free calls and broke after two years.

I love when you're just like "careful it's a Lotus it'll just break for no reason" or something along those lines.

it applies to anything that breaks. We simply say "it must be made by Lotus" or it "Lotus' d" lol.

But these 2015's seem much much better.

Lol so GM basically borrowed the ignition switch from Lotus is what you're saying.

So they only sell the Evora here now? I hope they bring the Exige here too. It's so beautiful.

I have an exige, that also has a color change stereo. You can choose a color, and hold that color, but I leave it on color cycle. Simple minds, I guess...

Move the seat forward until knee hits the dash. Make knee hitting dash video. Profit?

I think it looks a bit too aftermarket for my tastes. But, I do love the way that Ford lets you choose an infinite amount of colors for the dashboard.

Fun tip - Seats in cars are adjustable (backwards AND forwards) and the steering wheel is telescoping in an Evora. That means it ALSO goes backwards and forewards. Bet I just blew your mind.

I got one for you, the Evora will start without pressing the clutch. If you are in gear, be careful :]

Maybe you should learn how to drive a car with a manual transmission...

*facepalm* duh dude. Most cars won't let you start it unless the clutch is depressed, especially in keyless systems. I haven't come across many modern cars that do. Just a fun fact to blow your mind.

So, all that training and you start a car in gear? Now I know why some cars come with clutch/starter safety switches. Gotta make sure they design idiot-stops on their cars.

*ultra facepalm* it was just a fun fact! I never started a car in gear.
