This isn't an elise/exige, so why the constant comparisons? We're talking a car that costs over 50% more, weighs 50% more, etc... totally different automotive demographic. And "ruining the beautiful lines of an elise"? Please, our cars are more akin to a bumble bee than anything else. Incredibly exaggerated lines made more pronounced by a micro-machine stature - the exige helps remedy this with it's slightly sleeker front end/spoiler, but still let's face it - our cars are photogenic from all of about... oh maybe 2 angles. With the proper lens. From the proper distance.

The new car finally looks like a real car at least - I'd rather it resemble a Ferrari than a golf cart. And with the N/A version only a couple seconds behind the Exige S (ok, Top Gear charts are dubious at best, but still)... I don't doubt the supercharged variant will have the performance to calm us down. It sounds like it has all the handling it needs, despite the weight, but could just use more power. Sound familiar?
