Good article on a US available Elise (no joke).

"It's as coarse and undiluted as a concert hall filled with Limp Bizkit fans on crack, and just about as refined. It's also quite easily the most entertaining car we've ever experienced and without question one of the most unique automobiles on the planet."

"It speaks to the pure, hard-core car enthusiast in all of us like no other car we've driven. It's as simple, light and uncompromised as a modern automobile can be and still be called a car."

And, my favorite quote (IMHO it applies almost as well to the S2K)...

"We can't imagine why anyone would want more power. Sure, there's always going to be someone with a faster car--so what? This car defines driving pleasure. It's quicker and more agile than almost all of today's road cars and likely rivals many racecars dynamically."

Giampiero was stopped 3 times from Miami to Marietta Georgia to make sure he was "legal"...... so I wonder exactly how the one on ebay would be street legal.

the Type R engined version would be awesome! 13.2 for the
