The beauty of the Elise, which no other manufacturer has done and not even the Evora does, is provide you with what a sports car needs most, the absence of weight. It's what Lotus is known for, that and poor quality. The 1st gen Elise was even 300 pounds lighter than the car we get.
You have to buy either a very old car, or a kit car to get what the Elise offers. Truely unique.
