The fact that a BRZ is close to $30,000 or 25,000GBP ; why can't the Elise Sport 220 be had for around the low 40's here in America?
This was off my radar, but it would be a good Commonwealth move if it was offered or available new locally and legally at a good price. I would seriously consider holding off on my next car purchase for this thing. |

I understand the basics in that sense but I would honestly prefer more affordable British-made/produced or designed products because they have been great for the most part. I am a believer an economy should try to find a somewhat balanced figure on exports and imports. It can get out of hand if it gets too lopsided, respectively. Here in Canada, I can name a few products where exporters get a break so at least it sells and both parties are happy. I know the EU Trade Minister? paid Canada a visit a couple years ago and one item was to make some of these cars more readily available. In this case, probably looking exclusively, a meeting with a British Trade Minister. |

Man, people can complain about modern Lotus' all they want but IMO they look nice enough and seem like fun cars.

If I had the money, I'd get an Evora GT.

Only thing we have here in the States is the bloated Evora. I wish we had the Exige. The Exige 430 Cup is the car to have. A 911 is the better value and better daily, but the Exige would be the better driver's car.
I'm looking forward to the next lineup: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144000

I like how the Evora looks and I'm sure it drives great, but it's still quite a flawed car. It's heavier than a Porsche Cayman and the aero is not as good as a Porsche.
Really really praying the "Type 131" has gotten enough R&D money to make it a proper car with no half-assing. |
