This is for the BlueOx only.... I think he gets me ...a little. I can't post photos so can you look up " Lotus Elite concept " . Find a side profile pic. Just in the wheelbase of the the car it is very similar to the dreaded Jalopnik c7. But, it looks very good in the flesh.

You mean like this one??? Not too bad. Lotus' look good but don't impress me from a power standpoint.



Dude, all you have to do is find the pic online and right click on the picture (on a PC, I think) to copy the url, then you click on the:
...and paste the url there...then click OK.

Not sure I get you tho...

Sorry for eavesdropping on your private conversation.....but that car looks A LOT closer to the Jalopnik drawings that the 140 does....

Had you posted that instead, then maybe more of us would have....gotten you....

Sorry for the misunderstanding CarBoy .... The silly little Tru 140 does have some similarities to the Jalopnik pic and the Jalopnik pic appeared before the Tru was publicly shown. That's all..

Thanks TA ....if the base C7 looks like this inside the wheelbase I am all in. I realize the roof lines will be completely different but this is a clean look.

I agree -- it is striking, but will not be one of the "classic" Ferraris 20 years from now. Just like the TR is really starting to look dated.

It seems far too overstyled.
