You have to buy either a very old car, or a kit car to get what the Elise offers. Truely unique.

I agree and salute the notion of less is more when it comes to weight. For my tastes, what kept me from an elise is the looks. From the front it looks like a praying mantis, way too many vents, this new car has a more appealing body, a move in the right direction.
