Autoblog has just released an article regarding the Rossion Q1. The following is the link:

Well, because I see this car as a potential competitor to the '10 Lotus Exige Cup 260, this brings me to one question; would you consider buying the Q1 or the latter? I would go for the Exige Cup 260.

Somehow a car with 450 horsepower doesn't seem like a real competitor for one with 260. The markets are similar but the Exige is really only a track car. I would expect this to be used more as a sportscar as well as on the track.

Check out some of the threads on lotustalk.com and nobleforums.com. Both forums have comments from former Elise and Exige owners who have switched to Q1s after one drive. Some have said in terms of handling it's a wash, but there is no comparison in terms of horsepower. Plus the fit and finish of the Rossion is great.

Looks exactly like the Noble M400 with a revised front.

Probably because it is Noble-based. :)

i dunno. the colour isn't doing it any favours, but it seems a bit uglier than the M15. i'd still look at one over a cayman though i'd say.
