It's got a shitty Toyota motor in it and it's just as fast(maybe a bit faster) than a S2000. All that for 60k plus taxes, ouch!
Are we talking about the Elise or Exige?
Elise 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) 5.2 seconds
0-100 mph (0-160 km/h) 13.2

Exige 0-60 4.7 0-100 12.9

That's a LOT faster than the S isn't it?
Btw, I think I saw the Exige.. They look kinda similar though.

Jarek, the orange one you saw is an Elise with the track package option. That colour looks awsome in the sunlight eh? The Exige has not been cleared for import to Canada yet.

And I think you're right about it being a lot faster. Acceleration is one thing, but you cant beat the 900 pound advantage of the Lotus when it comes to braking and cornering speed.

However, since the "S" is technically my primary car, I couldn't give up the practicality of the Honda for the extra quickness of the Lotus.

Ron: I agree - and damn getting in and out of that thing is a feat. Gotta perfect the "dive and roll" if i wanna get out of this car any quicker.

You figure out a way for me to trade in the wagon for it, by all means.

I think a Haiku is needed anyway
