2024 Toyota crown 

Giving me the very obvious purosangue and maybe even DBX vibes

But I still feel it looks just like another typical EV look...no offence to owner.

That red car is a Crown Crossover. Front resembles Kia Cerato.

A little yes

But the front now is a very common EV look already

@Gnahp this Series II should be a safer bet (than the A110) as it has an engine from Toyota.

Elise and Exige drivers are contortionist 😁

I had a modded MRS.  It is so low i had to raise it slightly.

No problem getting in and out le.

Maybe Clarkson has problem.

This Lotus is like a "Oversized" Go-Kart that can be use on the Road,total lack of Comfort,no Power Steering & Noisy...

@camrysfe I saw this same Crown Crossover at Bedok towards Siglap about 2 weeks ago. No photo as I am driving and the car is within the blind spots of my car cam.

Somehow my first impression is that it is a bloated Prius, especially from the side. 

@Tohto Toyota external might have improved over the years but interior, especially the choice of materials is still not up to the mark, as compared to Korean and Conti in general. Just look at the interior of the Prius and you would get what I mean. Hard and "raw" (non-textured) plastic is evident. 

@ER-3682 thanks for sharing the fact. Somehow I have a soft spot for the Elan and Elise and it is the compactness of the car that attracted me (just like the Honda S660 & Daihatsu Open). But I know I will have problems getting in and out as I age. 

@Gnahp I laid on the middle of the road to take the shot

to be fair, the cabin space is not too bad

the problem is the door "aperture" 

take a look at 2:23 of the video

quite inhumane because of the high door sill, worse in S1

It is almost the same for MRS.

I usually put my butt in 1st before swinging my leg into the cabin.

To get out, it is the reverse of the above.

When you eventually get your R107, tell me again. Hehe!

R107 not nice to drive... rather cramped too

That's also supposed to be the most graceful way for ladies with short skirts.
