Thanks for looking, starting take off in my new city
 
I saw 3 of these on the same road outside of Buffalo a few weeks ago, it was extra strange because they weren't driving together. I had only ever seen one before in person. Pretty unique car. That color is great. The ones I saw were white, red and a more toned down blue.

I was on the way to work and I told everyone as soon as I walked in that I saw 3 Lotus Elise driving down Transit. Nobody cared. Im guessing it wont be much different here, but I felt the need to share.
 
Thanks to everyone, and i have never seen more than 1 in the same place...i know there is a dealership here so im sure they are here...but i love it...ever ridden in one? THe ride is awful!
 
looks awesome :2thumbs:



luckily we see them all the time over here, and I've been lucky enough to track one and its definitely my favourite track car :D



:brit
 
The ride is far from awful being it is a race/track car, not a Cadilac. I had the chance to drive one and it was the most run car I have driven to this day, and I have driven quite a few.
 
I know it isnt a cadillac, but for a daily driver (which this is), the ride isnt good compared to others...i know it is basically a race car so a sacrifice in ride quality is to be expected....
 
This is my favorite car... if I ever win lotto you will see an Orange one parked at Autogeek! Am very curious though about the prices of these, for the car they seem to be very reasonably priced?!?!:think:
 
Based on what i have seen, the car's price is pretty inflated...my perception may be off but i see some new ones around here start for about 60,000...and on the website they start at like 49,000....and there are some going for even more than 60...the owner told me this one was bought used for 38,000...
 
My dentist has a bright yellow Elise. The Port of Baltimore is the east coast preparation area for new Lotus Elises. It is nice to see a row of these when I am traveling north past Baltimore. This is a true, sports car with no illusions of luxury to spoil the fun.
 
And it has a lovely set of tires. Yokohama A048. Now thats a sticky combo for cornering :P I'm Buying a set for my supra, a bit noisy I have heard and they dont last that long.. But sweeeeet Traction :P
