Granted it only a 30 min drive in each direction mostly on nice empty country roads. The Exige is easy to live with day in day out. Cheap to run too.

I mean Celica; Therefore; If Toyota is a company full of Passion - as we are lead to believe by the handful of Toyo-philes on this site.. then why don't they add a supercharger for the Corolla instead of being shown how its done by that is compared to Toyota [the worlds wealthiest car company] a lightweight? Then maybe the Corolla might stop getting its a--e kicked by the Golf Okay then Al Jutraj The supercharged engine in the Lotus is a from the Silly-Car.. I mean Celica;

The car tested is one of the low-end variants, with the ZZE112 Corolla's standard 1ZZ-FE engine, the same one found in the MR2 Spyder. The middle-of-the-range Elise and Exige have the non-supercharged 2ZZ-GE. The supercharged engine was the Celica/Corolla Sportivo’s 2ZZ-GE, and could be found in the top model Elise and Exige.

It shows to go that taste is subjective, as I think the Lotus looks better than the Falcon.

People who buy a Lotus know what they're in for. It's not for everyone but I reckon it looks sensational. This is a car for purists most liekly driven only in the weekends.
