2008 Exige S240 in Persian Blue... Looks like the deal is right... Unless something goes haywire or Gina puts the axe to the deal...

Here's a picture of the beauty...

Can't argue with that. It's the right color, IMO. (Mind you, I'm partial to Mag Blue.

)

Hope it all works out, becuase I want to see more pics and read your impressions.

gameson · 06-24-2008, 05:30 PM

why are the wheels silver and not black?

Wheels are the Elise SC Sport Package in Silver (same light-weight wheel as the black just silver)... I personally like the silver with the blue better... Black & Blue reminds me of a freakin bruise...

More than likely... We shall see...

Bull30...

You're looking at this, and the 60th Anniversary Elise 'on order' is no longer in your signature. Curious...not getting the Elise?

No, I decided against the Elise SC for many reasons... Let's just say I would rather opt for the 240 hp machine with the intercooler...

Noisycow · 06-24-2008, 07:58 PM

I was in love once with a Gina. I would have, however, pushed her into a bus if she came between me and that car. That is very nice. "Persian Blue" - will remember that color.

Mr. Know · 06-24-2008, 09:12 PM

In those pictures it looks exactly like Mag Blue in real life...but then again Mag Blue doesn't photograph nearly was well as it looks in person.

I'd love to see my car next to a Persian Blue car and see if there was much of a diff.

On the basis of looks, color, and the promise of an exciting driving experience, it's hard not to get excited about this car.

However, as a street car (which is how I think you'll be using it), the lack of rearward vision can be a real handicap at worst, and an annoyance at best. Someone who participated in one of your recent runs dislikes his Exige for that reason.

In any case, good luck with any decision you make (you lucky guy!). It looks like a great car.
