[BobsElise]

I was actually pretty excited about the next generation Elise concept (~300 HP, ~2400 lbs, mid engine, slightly more liveable than the original). However, I am not sure we'll ever see it due to Lotus' current financial situation.

I agree the Elise is a pretty special car. I had a chance to drive a BRZ back to back with my Elise the other day and while the BRZ is a very nice car that does a lot of things well, I'm not sure that I am ready to get rid of the Elise for it. I guess the ideal solution would be for me to replace my Civic daily driver with the BRZ. I was planning to replace the Civic, but I didn't really want another two door car.
