Emira: off with its roof I was thrilled to read about the superbly styled Lotus Emira (cover story), a seemingly perfect, modern replacement for the legendary Elise. I could be very tempted to buy one as a change from my beloved Honda S2000 – 12 years old and only 26,000 miles. However, there is a huge impediment. Why is it not a convertible sports car? It’s crying out for an MX-5-style simple pull-over hood, or a pieced carbon roof, which could stow. We should pester Lotus to work on a convertible. Surely there is so little competition that the international market would welcome it.
