Clean GTO = i completely agree with you. My Sister and her ex boyfriend split the cost for an Exige in 2007 and by far it was one of the most fun cars to be in .

the Tesla is a great concept, quick electric motor and all, but come onnnnn… you can’t put a Tubi exhaust on it.

you are going to need like grooved belts and hollow gears to make noise.

^^^It will differentiate the owner more then S class in LA & NYC. It is based on Lotus and apparently has the same driving dynamics and performance characteristics.

I’m failing to understand the allure for this car. You could buy a real Lotus instead, and enjoy the high revving Toyota 4 instead of the listless hum of an electric motor. That’s what’s lost on me.

Sorry I am an ignorant Brit, what’s the distance between LA and Vegas and why would there be nowhere to stop and charge the car in between?

So for $100,000 I can’t even leave LA? I’d have to rent a car to drive to Vegas, or even Santa Barbara for that matter. Hmmm, I really don’t see that as a value proposition, sorry.

No dealers in Las Vegas, huh?
