Am I dreaming, is this dream or did this really happen? I was at Barnes and Noble I read the reviews on the Elise in a few different magazines.
The first review was in Evo, they rated the Elise 7th, it only took first in handling and had marginal performance gains from the other competitors ranking with a Nissan 300 Z. Who in the right mind would put a 300 Z in mix??? Talking about bad choice of cars. The only reconciliation I had was they put a Lamborghini in the mix.
Car and Driver article was breath fresh air. However, what were the editors doing putting an Elise against a Miata. My friend called me up on this one and actually believed he could give me a run for my money in his stock miata. At least I happen to like an S2000. What happened to the Boxster S, M3, 911's, and Corvettes?? Am I supposed to feel better that I am spending 50K and have to wait six months longer to know my car is faster than a Mazda Miata? Is this a conspiracy?
The best article I read was in Motor Trend that a gave great review of the Elise. However, a few pages later there was a separate article. Testing a Boxster, Z4, Audi and some other car and of course the Porsche Boxster won. Why wasn’t the Elise in their on the test track?!? What’s next? an Elise vs. Volkswagen GTI on the cover of Road and Track?
I’m just blowing of some steam, any thoughts on this??
