...the VX 220 uses a slightly longer chassis wheelbase than the elise/exige, same as the europa, and shares its turbo Z20LET ecotec powerplant with the europa as well...i suspect they handle very similarly...
...i've yet to read of any europa/speedster/VX220s being imported and federalised, and now that GM's kappa platform is widely available, there's little incentive to bother with the effort...in fact, i'd wager that the europa will be made redundant shortly after the evora ships, unless it switches over to dodge's forthcoming electric powerplant...
...incidentally, i had an opportunity to clamber about a solstice GXP at this weekend's san antonio auto show, and was very impressed...the targa coupé due out next year looks to be really nice - it might be the best new sportscar deal in the american market...
