Mr JWW Says The Lotus Exige Is Important… We Disagree
Video

Mr JWW says the Lotus Exige 410 “is more important now than ever”. No… it isn’t, for all intents and purposes, it is a car. The Exige is a track car for the road. In reality, it is pure track focused. As such it is compromised for the road. It costs £80,000, not far off from a Porsche 911 which is as equally as fast and loaded with more tech.

The Exiges’ party trick is that it weighs 1,100kg, a relative lightweight among heavyweight supercars. Mr JWW says the Lotus Exige 410 is important, but he doesn’t truly explain why. He does say it has a lightweight philosophy, it is a sports car with supercar performance.

But why is the Exige 410 more important than ever? because of the open linkage gearbox? because it’s awesome? it’s great fun? No car is truly important. If you are stuck in a traffic jam are you going to say your car is important at that point?

Living, doing the right thing, fairness and equality are important and anything in between is merely an aspiration of life… consider it a bonus.

Ben Foulds once gave us good advice about journalism, “critical analysis”. Then he threw us off the Volvo UK press fleet without conducting any critical analysis of his own.

But never mind, he is a good guy we hold no ill will against him.

But what we think is really, truly important is the realisation Mr JWW is now filming in 4K. High-five, fist-bump Mr JWW. Does he actually read this blog?
