You see the Dodge one too? I forget what it's called, but it's a re-badged Hybrid version of the Lotus Europa.

Tesla....

Re-badging a Lotus as a Dodge is just plain wrong.

The Circuit is probably the coolest Dodge since the Viper... although at this point who knows if you'll be able to buy one. LULZ!

I absolutely love the Circuit. Simply basing off the native Lotus cars, I know the Europa was made to be roomier than the Elise, while still retaining a certain amount of Lotus "lightness", making me more interested in it than the Tesla.
