Assuming that my loft sale closes I'll be going to Autostrada later this month to pick up the 2006 Canyon Red Elise that I ordered (Hard Top, LSD, Touring, Sports, with the Biscuit interior).

I've seen a black Exige and I like the look even better than the car I ordered... Am I going to regret purchasing the Elise and not going with an Exige?

A bit of background: I ordered the Elise last year with the expectation that it would come in around March or April. It ended up coming in January, and between the time that I ordered it and it came in I had to buy a second house (wife couldn't stand living in downtown, hence the loft sale). With two residences I didn't have the funds to pull the trigger on the Elise. It took a while for the loft to go, but now it looks like it is sold. Neil at Autostrada has been more than patient about waiting for me to purchase the Elise. We had an understanding that if anyone else came in and wanted to buy it he would just give me a call before he sold it to them.

I'd feel really bad about leaving Neil in the lurch with the Canyon Red Elise, but I do really like the look of the Exige.

What should I do?
