Had to reply since lotusTT has a picture of my car in his first message!
(I'm virtually positive the photo is of the 2002 Azure Esprit that Silicon Valley Autogroup had for sale until recently!)

Love the car. The accelleration is mind blowing, and around here (Orange County, CA) it really turns heads - more so even than Ferrari's, Porsche's and the like. (Which are far more common in these parts than Lotuses.)
