if you give up your spot, let me know - I have a friend who is about #17 at some dealer in Texas because the CA dealers were so packed.

i doubted buying the car also but i kept my spot. i'm glad i still have it. Not sure if i'll take delivery or not but it's nice to have the option. I expect my car in December (about #30 on Newport European's list).

That Elise looks so nice in red . Most of the photo/ PR cars are flourescent green , orange, dark blue, BRG which make it look like a toy.

Its definately a nice looking little "go getter." And with the numbers quoted, and reviews that i have seen, it should be a blast to drive.

Depending upon supply and demand, you might be able to drive it for a while and get most of your $ out of it. The one review I read said it was awesome. Looks are a bit toyish for my taste and it is small as hell. It might make a nice tender for the Hummer. You could carry it on the roof and off-load when you pulled into port, err I mean a parking space.

That is a seriously ugly car. Also a bit on the small side.

I was on the list at Hunting Ridge Motors in NY. I cancelled, its just too damn small for use on the road. Would be great for a track only car.

Dr.

I thihnk the car is awesome. No way would I give it up. I would supercharge it and make a track beast out of that car. I'll bet if you did that it would smoke mine big time. I love the Elise.
