The Lotus story continues to intrigue with plans to deliver five all new cars over the next five years. After debuting all five concepts at the Paris Auto Show, Lotus then brought its traveling road show to the LA Auto Show. Now the storied British brand is keeping the hype alive by releasing a selection of stunning photographs of its concepts.

They look great! As long as they handle the same I'm more then happy

A lotus is simple; take off as much weight as possible till the chasis cracks, then add 10%
 
Really ballzy move from Lotus with the radical redesign, but it will likely pay off. They all look great.
 
I don't know what Lotus designers are smoking, but their cars look like shit from the side.
Elan looks like a kia rondo or civic. Esprit resembles a celica, depending on the viewing angle. And their Evora, while nice from front and back, looks completely out of proportions and squished from the side. I think the sides get designed last. They spend too much time on the front and back, and then there's not much that can be done with the rest of the car.
