The Elise really grabs me. The rest look like either Lambo or Fisker rip-offs.

these all look like variants of the same design. none of which will look great once they are in production clothing. basically, you have to discount the styling by 20-30% by looking at concepts.

Esprit looks very 'Lamborghini' but I dig it.

I hate to say it but I think it looks better. The Granturismo is stunning, but the middle of the car struggles to fuze the two design languages.

This car has no such problem.

The Esprit was such a departure from what was common back when it debuted in 1977...I think its sad that its successor makes no such impact.

The Esprit design is a boring variant of 4 other boring designs...I expected Lotus to be much more daring and inventive.
