For me it is cool...
it is something different from Elise
because it is more emphasis on comfort
"Business Class" Lotus said
Europa S is more sophisticated and understated than the more in-your-face styling of the Elise 8)
I wish I had one

i'd say it's cool. it's certainly not Lotus' best design, but it's still pretty nice looking. no doubt it's got great handling, too....but what pushed it to "cool" for me is the single windshield wiper, those are neat 8)

Uncool, because it looks so damn shit. A good handling light chassis and a Lotus badge can't change that unfortunately...

Europa was never pretty and this is a Lotus that's trying to be practical! That's uncool! Besides those rumors of the Europa being developed for Proton still linger on, so uncool!!!

as much as i love lotus, i dont think it's cool, although the badge and the handling i guess it'll have bring it close to the edge of cool/uncool

Uncool!!!

It's really ugly... and mainly, because, if you buy a lotus, you don't want it to be comfortable 8)

It has all the aesthetic appeal of a dead crocodile. Uncool. My dad's Mazda 3 is cooler than this piece of excrement.
