Well, perhaps that’s a bit premature, let’s call it a sort of lunar orbit.

To be honest I was kinda tempted to say that if that ends up looking half as good as my Masser then I�d eat one of those little bits of tyre that end up on a car after a session on track�
However, even with the Duck tape on, it�s definitely no Europa

Astonishing. I know there are no real scale clues in that picture (or is that a tyre wall to the right of the picture and if so it merely confirms what follows) but if it has four seats and a mid-engine configuration I can only conclude that two of them are dolls seats.
These pictures HERE seem more realistic but even this car doesn’t look much bigger than the M250 - I sat in (and ordered) one of these and there definitely wasn’t room for two more seats.
Nor can I see four seats in THIS idea either.
Just putting four seats in a design doesn’t make it a four-seater. There don’t appear to be any side windows for rear passengers and it simply wouldn’t work IMHO.
Surely the photo is nearer to the new Esprit. Have a look HERE to see what I mean.
I could be completely wrong of course and I’ll probably end up eating humble pie…
You know, actually, I think you�re right, about the only comfort I can find though, is that the Eagle does rather remind me of a 308 GT/4, which I reckon is a pretty good sign. Anyone know what the back seats were like in one of those � Julian?
Either way, it’ll certainly be interesting to see how it turns out…

Yup, see here

read a quote from somewhere that the rear seats would only be suitable for children up to the age of 9…a very particular market segment.
The screen and wing mirrors look like a Noble.
Re the rear seats, the space is always handy to sling some extra bags if going on a trip, or horror of horrors even a set of golf clubs.
or horror of horrors even a set of golf clubs.
I do believe that space for golf clubs was part of the design spec…but that was the same for the M250 also!

Bloody hell David, you’ve got a good memory…I still hanker after a 308 but still believe I made the right choice in the S1!

Would you like some cream (or gravy) with it?

I know that I am preaching to the converted, but even as a '96 Elise S1 owner x 2, I still believe that the S1 Exige was the best looking car of the lot, and I doubt if they will improve on it.
I do not have one because I need a topless, and they sure as hell will never get down to my 720kg again.

You count! (see nearby thread) The M250 was the best looking - even if it did have space for golf clubs
