Nobody even cares about fast anymore I don't think EVs were the final nail on that coffin.

I was really hopefull for about 15 years that lotus would be the new porsche. They just cant pull off the 90s recovery Porsche did.

Its a shame. The elise/exige are so fun to drive in the right scenario. The right amount of speed, tons of engagement and sounds, so toss able and exciting. Also a bit of suffering for the privilege as part of the experience.

I miss my exige s dearly. I only drove it around 15000 miles in the 12 years I owned it though. I have driven my cayman 17,000 miles in 2 years, took it on road trips, drove 800 miles to PEC with my son. Had a lot of great experiences I wouldn't attempt in a super dramatic car. Compared to an exige it is positively boring though.

I drove my Cayman to work today. Its raining and I didnt look at the weather to see if it would get worse. Exige would only be driven on perfect days to known parking spots.
