The Elise is a fine car to have .... I have friends drive them and won't ever give them up .... I can remember the first one I saw ..... so new that I wasn't even aware of them .... a yellow one driving down the main street of Llangollen in North Wales .... stopped me in my tracks .... was months before I finally identified it as a production Lotus .... definitely a case of the impact being genuinely due to the design rather than the badge.
