Today (Sunday) while at the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Webb Way in Malibu, I saw a U.S. Lotus Elise. What is interesting about the Elise is how dimunitive it is compared to more common-sized cars, but how wide the car is from the rear. It's really has a good-sized track, which is probably why - along with its 2000-pound weight, why it handles so well.
To be sure, it is an odd-shaped car; sort of a lowered dune buggy-like look. Regardless, if all is true concerning the Elise, it will probably give the twin yellow GT-3s that were also lurking around the Malibu area, a good run for their money - unless the radar-aided motorcycle cops that were hiding along the highway get to one or the other first.
