Well you learn something everyday they say and today I saw a Lotus Europa. I had never even heard of them, never mind seen one.
I’m sure some of you hardcore Lotus fans know all about it but all I can say is looked like a toned down Elise ish model even though I only saw it in the traffic for a few seconds.
The only thing I can think of is it might not have been a popular model because it wasn’t around when the Elise, Exige and Evora models were replaced by the Emira.
Has anyone owned one or still have one?

I had a 1972 TwinCam Europa. It was their first mid-engine street car. Challenging to get in and out of, but the handling was incredible.
 
My dealership in Toronto has had a white one for quite some time, I like it a lot! They brought it to the auto show that just wrapped up as well.

You are referring to the 2nd generation Europa, called the Europa S produced between 2006 and 2018 and the Europa SE 2008 - 2020. This car was based on the Lotus Elise, less than 500 in total were produced.
