Default The Elise

I made a quick stop at the Lotus dealer specifically to check out the Elise because I haven't seen one up close and it's my favorite car ever made.
Turns out they had 8 of them! These cars are so beautiful it's ridiculous. Anyway I didn't have time to get a sit in one because we had to get back home (it's like 250 miles away).
But I tell you I will have one of these some day when they come down to like $15,000.

I have driven one a couple of times. It is a high powered go-kart. Great fun on back roads. Terrifying on highways. You feel like a bug about to get squashed by a truck.

Are they pretty common in Europe?
Like how often do you see them?

In the UK, I see them all the time. In the rest of Europe they are much less common.

During the summer, it is almost impossible to go out in the UK and not see one.

Have you ever driven one ? It is a highly polarizing experience.
