Actually the Elise aerodynamically is fairly good. The only major fault is the rear window / engine tray - which generates lift and drag as it is. Of course, the Exige shape fixes this.

The Elise was put in a wind tunnel during development, and generates downforce both front and rear. Very few production cars generate downforce - the only ones that spring to mind are the F40, F50, Enzo, Carrera GT, Veyron, Mclaren F1, Koenigsegg, S7, GT3(?) - none of which I really consider production cars apart from the GT3.
