And to answer your question, I would rather have a Lotus. Although I'm not sure I am small enough or agile enough to get in and out with any degree of dignity right now. There seriously needs to be an amusement park style 'You need to be this tall' sign for Lotuses (Loti?). Only instead of being a minimum, it should be a maximum: "If you are over 5'8" or 170+lbs, enter at your own risk"

Most definately not comfortable for big guys. I'm 6 ft. I don't think a Lotus will be my type of car man. As far as embracing the multi-speed transmission is a mystery. I'm still trying to figure out who is approving these cars. Detroit Motor Company is really trying to make a come back in the industry. Putting out better product with better MPG aswell. Maybe this could be a start in the right direction for more middle class owners to (embrace) the future. And push forth more car makers to build more electric cars.
If your into Sci-Fi and futuristic movies you want to push the boundaries and have no limitations when it comes to designs and technology in vehicles on the road. I'd personally love to see a car fly atleast in this lifetime.
