Hate to say it, but that is hideous. Far worse than the original imho.

I hate to say it as well, Andre, but I like the original better.  Although I do like your Europa as well, I think it might have been good as a different model in the Lotus lineup.

Well, I hate not to say that all actual Lotus cars are really really ugly. The Europa is one of the worst designed sport cars, but ways better than the Elise, which looks like a kit car... So it isn't my taste. Just tried to make it look a bit better (for a contest). Now it looks a lot more seriously, elegant, the lines make sense. It's a powerfull sports car. Perhaps I should rebrand it. Mazda, Kia, or a little Chevrolet?

I agree.  Lotus needs a new styling chief.

Colin Chapman wasn't concerned with making styling statements, but with making the lightest sports cars he could make.

Kia?  Its not that ugly.

I have to agree with Raza, FOL, and TBR, I dont really like it.  You did a good job on it, but I just dont like this one.

That's a great local brewery that we have. Do I drink their beer? No.

Well Andre, at least you know we honestly liked your other chops, because apparently no one's going to sugar-coat their comments! :P

I really do love the current Lotus cars, and those from the past as well.  I think this Europa looks great.  

Though, the Elise could look like an Aztek, and if it still drove the way it does, I would still love it.

I say take the swoop out of the rear roof line and make it more like the original.
