The top of the hood of a Rolls Royce (!)

Sorry no photos, but it's true.

I happened to be in a dealer's garage area and they had a couple of the press car Elises and one was nose-to-nose with one of the new Rollers. The Elise looked like it could have fit into the Rolls' trunk (boot) !

One of the mechanics said the federal Elise is the first car in about 20 years that's really impressed him, and he's driven a lot of great cars.

the elise must look like a toy model car next to the rolls.

I'd like to have a rolls royce. Aside from the Elise, a Rolls Royce ( used would be fine) would be a nice addition to my stable IMHO.

It's almost the same level as the Benz's hood too.

Here's a picture from a Euro demo at Scotsdale Lotus:

And this is what the "OVLOV" driver will sees a split second before impact.

And here's what the Elise pilot see's .5 seconds before impact:

Heres a comparison from the Pittsburg show but its not real good:

I think someone also once posted a picture of thwm side to side and it was from a show on the west coast of Florida.

Once you get over the fact that it's a ferrari, I think I like the side profile of the Elise more than the 360.

actually I think the side profile of the Elise is its least flattering angle

here's a pic I took outside LCU about 3 weeks ago. The Elise is sitting next to a Honda Accord.

Note: the center third light on the roof of the Elise is lower than the third light on the bottom of the rear window of the Honda!

It's images like this that make me feel uneasy about getting the Elise. Its so small that it look out of place, and toy-like.

i'd have to say that this is the best pic that i have seen comparing the size of the Elise among "normal" sized cars. It most certainly looks like a toy - a RC car. I'm amazed everytime i see this photo. Most definitely a badass looking toy. I can't wait to see the demo and drive it.

It really is scary small...especially with all those SUV's, Minivans and Pickup Trucks out there.

 

[Surferjer]

Agreed on the best pic. It makes the Accord look huge!!

And Baghdad Bob is the funniest Avatar ever! Still, I'll take the bouncing breasts for their curb appeal....

For me images like that one makes me really happy I'll be getting one. Instead of comparing the body I compare the tires and the CG.

Can't wait!!!!!!!!

I like this one!!

I though Mini`s were small.:clap:

yeah that's a good shot of the height. I wish the picture had been taken farther away to include the entire body of both cars for a better comparison. That's why the 111S and Accord photo is excellent.

Surferjer, thanks for the compliment! :clap:

All of you saying how good the Accord/Elise picture is are making me blush

When I saw the 2 of them sitting side by side out front of LCU, I thought it would make a great picture because the Accord is so common it makes for a good ruler.

I wonder if the Elise is lower than a Triumph Spitfire or Mg Midget?
I think it is slightly longer in lenght, but it is still smaller than an MBG or TR6. Is there anyone in GB who can post a picture of some of these cars next to an Elise?
