OT: Lotus Elise




Since Toyota isnt carrying the new Supra yet, I wonder if they are going
to sell the Elise at their dealerships as a "flagship" model.

Ive had an Esprit since '99, and it's probably the best car Ive ever
driven for handling, but I'd just like to point out that Lotus Parts cost
an arm and a leg !

Besides that, if you get in even the smallest accident with the Elise, the
car is toast.
