Thanks guys. First, the Lotus is tiny. Go-Cart tiney. Although I am 6'1" and fit into it without any problems. It is a really fun car though.
The Atlantis green is very dark. Although it is loaded with metal flake, so in the day time, in bright sunlight it looks very green, sometimes even grey. It's a great color, but MUCH darker than the website made it appear when I ordered it. If you want to see the color in person, take a ride to a Ford dealer and look at a Fusion. It is becoming a popular color on that car if you can't find a 2010 Taurus.
It's really hard to compare the interiors of the SHO and the TL Type S. The TL had much nicer materials inside, however developed a LOT of squeeks and rattle very early on. This drove me nuts. Fit and finish on the Taurus is better than the TL, but again materials on the TL were nicer. The SHO is also loaded with cool features that I have become very used to over the last week, like adaptive cruise, 10gb hard drive/juke box, seat massagers, which by the way are in the butt AND seat back. Early literature showed the seat massage being only in the bottom part of the seat.
There is one thing that REALLY erks me about the SHO. That is the drivers side floor is VERY small. I like to bend my legs up while I have the cruise set sometimes, and the floor in this car just does not allow that. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but it REALLY bothers me.
