Not to mention the Elise looks like a praying mantis with the "toss another set of vents in" styling cues. The new Lotus Evora looks a lot cooler but the Cayman crushed it in a side by side and costs more than 10k less.
PS My pal's worked, old school, GTO was a rocketship off the line, I don't see it setting any Nuremberg ring times of note. As Alfa used to advertise, "It's not how fast you go, it's how you go fast".

I agree, I did not buy my boxster for it's off the line performance,If someone did Thay would be vary disappointed.
My point is are cars are show,that is a fact, As far as the Lotus go's Thay say if you look down and can't see your belt you will have a problem getting in and out of a lotus.This is not a problem for me.
As for the comments on the vents unlike Porsche and many other cars,there isn't a single thing on the car that is for just looks, it is there for performance reasons only.the car light at only 1850lbs it will smoke my boxster in every performance category.I would love to take you out on the track with me, based on your comments I can tell you have never been in a Lotus but obviously you an expert when it comes to the Lotus Elise.
As far as looks, I think to looks great, I like that you called it a praying mantis, it will eat my Boxster alive out on the track.
