    Id still rather have an Elise I think. Although this cars performance is awesome! I dont really love the look of them. Actually, id rather have a Ferrari 3x8 series for that sort of money. But each to their own. If you want one mate, go for it. At least I can tell my mates that I know someone who owns one. ;)

    i'm with speedy, don't think i want an elise nowadays, but an Exige is definitely top 5 material. don't know anyone in adelaide with one :(

    only <$200k ferrari i'd want is the GT4, the rest are a bit... cliche for my tastes.

    bugger him !!!

    he hasn't got a clue, I've had the GT4 and loved it but the QV is miles ahead in al depts except for the number of people it can carry.

    and anyway our cars must be well over $200k :rolleyes:

    yes :D
    well, actually i find it a bit 'fat' looking when viewed front on - imo it would look sleeker with only one seat. Although that would put your head directly in front of the intake :D

    :D the GT4 is just unpopular enough for me to love it, plus i'm a sucker for (almost) anything Bertone, the others are great but i couldn't love them as my own, good to have friends with them though....

    BTW Ash, you had better start the diet now and cut out the VB. You can't have a car like that and weigh 20% of the vehicle weight...:D

    Awesome little car, I think that I would pick it over Elise and Exige, but I think I would take a Exige S :) The performance of this thing is absolutley unreal, imagine this pulling up next to you at the lights, then seeing it tear off like a jet engine is strapped to it!
