OT - I have heard people pronounce Exige - as EX-EEEGG and when I stopped at Portland Lotus I heard the salesman call it an EX-IIIGE with an 'i' sound ... which is correct? LOL - funny that I am not sure yet

Since the 'i' in Elise in pronounced as 'E' I am 95% sure it is Exeeeeege
Kind of a generic way of combining the 2 models that people here on LT have started using to refer to both cars in a lazy way.. since they are essentially the same car/platform Elise / Exige = either Elige or Exise. The Exige "i" is pronounced the same way the "i" in Elise is pronounced like a long eeee sound
