just surprised so many tourists at the Hoover Dam care to take pictures of a blandly styled Lotus!
p.s. that is Car & Driver not Road & Track. The source article was in last months C&D print mag.

Not really. The performance data quoted is from the UK comparison where they chose it over 458 and GT2 RS. The conclusion was the same line from the video - the car is "a lady on the street but a freak in the bed".
OK, thanks. Won't try to find it then. Still looking forward for Road & Track to test the car and Motor Trend to do a proper comparo. It takes since the first tests done in the US by MT and Inside Line of the car !

It is amazing scenery.
Two years ago whilst in Arizona,on my way to Moab Nevada, I overtook an unmarked Police 4x4 at 125 mph
( we had been travelling for hours on no traffic roads) and the local Policeman let me off when he saw my UK paper license, a lovely man who lectured me on the consequences of death whilst speeding and the horrible phone calls back to family's in Europe. I actually thought I would be in Jail so I was more than pleased by his maturity.
But great territory in the National Parks with truly spectacular scenery and fast roads

I found a British accent to be very useful on my USA road trip. 41 states in three and a half weeks without using the free way. The trouble is I'm not allowed back as I'm probably a wanted man in virtually every state I rode through. I managed to get banged up in jail on my first day. Very exciting, I'd never had a gun pointed at my chest before!
Highway patrol, state police, county police, even park rangers(they carry guns too so watch out), yes I got to know them all. $2000 in speeding tickets.
A "cop" in Arizona told me that if I'd have been Italian, he would have just stuck me in jail as par for the course. Go figure!!
Btw, I found all Americans to be very polite and excellent hosts. Even the police, after they realised I wasn't Canadian (I bought one of the very first Yamaha R1's ever made from a Canadian dealership before crossing the border).
