I didn't really know where to post this...

But I need some opinions. I've been geared towards buying the EVO X for some time now, saving all my money and such, but I completely forgot about the Lotus Elise.

First of all I thought this car was ridiculously expensive and only available in Europe since I've never seen one and I thought Lotus was just another one of those Euro-only cars. Then I went on auto trader to find 2005 & 2006 models selling between $32k-$36k! That's the same, if not less, than the EVO X GSR. It puts out about the same power as the Si. 1.8 Liter 190 HP, but 0-60 in 4.9 seconds.

So what's wrong with this car? I have never seen one on the road and no one talks about them.
