I'll post it here as I've already posted both in the Emira thread, but the Evo reviewer comes across as being a little disappointed in the car compared to Harry.

New format for Drivetribe, and pretty good.
Love or hate Mat Armstrong, his enthusiasm is quite infectious.
Not one for the car purists though.

I think saying disappointed is unfair. He points out the car is a little soft, and isn't track focused. You could take this as being a negative, but he goes on to say that's a lotus trademark. Harry commented as much in video about how Lotus's defining characteristic is that they're excellent road cars as opposed to track cars. I think his comments belay the fact that he wanted more of a track focused car than what's been delivered.
I think it comes down to whether you want a track car or not. He specifically says at the end "the engine and drive train don't cut it ... on track at least"
 
The E46 houses a v10 under there too as there are a fair number of conversions out there all working nicely. Quite the thing.
