What are we going to feel

When the first USA EliseTalker posts a picture of his/her new Elise are we going to be happy for them or will we hate them

Someone is gonna walk in to a dealership and offer a dealer big money for a demo that he won't be able to refuse...what provisions to dealers have on selling/not selling their demo? If I was a dealer and had 100+ orders I would sell my demo if the price was right...

Hate...definetly hate. That intense feeling of jealousy that keeps you awake at night, grinding your teeth, stomach overturning, etc. etc.

But it will only be temporary...until I get my car.

Extreme jealousy. A little hate. Feigned euphoria (for the new owner) and will probably be driving the demo car repeatedly.

in all seriousness i will probably be pretty excited because the sooner SOMEONE gets a car, the sooner i get MY car.

It will also be cool to get lots of pictures of colors that we may not have seen that much of.

Great as long as they do two things:

1) Write a review ASAP of how the Elise:
a) handles; b) accelerates from stop; c) accelerates from 35mph and 65 mph; d) what the mph at the break in is; e) how loud is the cabin at 65mph; and f) smile factor

2) Pictures: Lots of pictures.

The other thing that will be fun to watch is, who can get their 1000 mile break-in done the quickest, the service done and then get on the cams!
