Not sure what all they hype is about... It looks a little like an RX330... And, the Taurus X and the Pacifica have done the wagon thing, already...
 
It is fairly attractive for a whatever it is..

It's a minivan/SUV hybrid...for those without the self-confidence to drive a minivan, but who fear the social stigma of an SUV. Brilliant target marketing, dumb name, Toyota looks.

I like it except for the overdone grille, but what I don't get is why is costs a LOT more than the Sienna despite sharing an engine and being smaller.

Lotus Elise... in orange.. Guess he was picking up a bolt... or one screw..
 
Looking down into the car... It looks like the seats ride about 6" off the pavement.. I'm not even sure I could get in and out of it.. (though, I wouldn't mind trying..)

How does that Lotus handle in snow. We had a coating on Saturday and all the idiot drivers around here were playing bumper pool.

Yeah.. I was wondering... I'm sure that it would come with summer tires.. Can't really see someone switching out for winters on a Lotus..
 
I did find out that the stock tires on my new AWD Subie are really crappy in the snow... which makes no sense at all.
 
Messing around with my son... driving down the street... almost took out a neighbor's mailbox... So much for fun in the snow..

>. Can't really see someone switching out for winters on a Lotus..
 
I asked the local Ford dealer a couple years back about the GT they had in the showroom and if snowtires were available for it. I'd imagine it's like driving a Firebird on snow.
 
The salesman didn't seem very amused. Maybe that's why they're closed.

It seems that 20%-30% of our local Ford dealers are gone, including some bigger ones that I wouldn't have guessed..
 
I think Ford has been really aggressive about buying back dealerships... that's the one way they can actually get rid of them...
