I saw the Elise when I was in London on a business trip. The car looked nice, but I really like my S2K better.

By the way, Lotus is part owned by GM. There was a rumor a while back that GM was going to bring the Elise in under the Saturn dealership. Guess that didn't happen.

I love it. However, I would pay 40k for it, not 55k.

I've heard this car mentioned on this board so many times. Am I the only person here who doesn't know what this car looks like?

Can someone please post a pic?

Thanks S2R. Now that I know what it looks like, I just don't get it. It reminds me of the little Toyota roadster. I like the looks of the S2K much better.
