What is Lotus Elise?
1.
A very fast, ultra lightweight, aluminum chassis, hand built british sports car that has better grip than virtually anything on the market today (more than an enzo). This machine was designed to own the track, and should only be sold to buyers with a certain degree of driving skill, not posers who just want to look cool.
The Lotus Elise came to America in 2005.

Tiny, uncomfortable car for those who cannot afford a Porsche.
I test-drove a Lotus Elise once. It took me 45 minutes, a shoehorn and a jar of KY to fit into it.

It's not how fast it can go. It's how your heart beats in a few seconds. We have to say that as it doesn't go terribly fast, however those that drive it are frequently terrified.
It doesn't really matter that the ride and handling of the Lotus Elise is hard and uncomfortable, or that its dull uncommunicative steering, painfully slow throttle response, dreadful braking and ridiculous aerodynamics all contribute to the Lotus experience of poor performance.
What really matters is when you get others in the hair styling industry to give you respect.
Try driving a Lotus Elise and you'll realise you may as well have bought a Fisher Price car.
I for one would never buy a Lotus Elise, it truly is ugly, cheap, unreliable and desperately slow.
