Sorry if a repost, but you know how the search function does not function here...
The new Road and Track has a comparo between a Lotus Elise SC, Alfa 4C, and Porsche Cayman. They acknowledge that one cannot get a new Elise in the U.S., but they say if you want the pure driving experience, find a lightly used Elise.
Bottom line:
The new Alfa: 3rd place. It was faster than the other two and pulled more g's on the skidpad, but overall was lacking.
Lotus Elise: 2nd place. They still love the driving experience, but as an overall sports/road car, it's too extreme.
Porsche: 1st place. Best all around performance/sports car and also one that you can live with day to day.
Nice to see the Elise is still recognized for what it was designed for.
