I only wish Porsche would build the equivelent. With the current rush to retro, could there be a market for a totally elemental Porsche? No power anything, no radio, no electronic gizmos, nadda. A 2000lb or under car, with a 2.0 liter - maybe even air cooled again. Shoot for the same $40-$50K bracket and I bet they couldn't build them fast enough.

I do like the Lotus. The move to Toyota power was one of the best things they have ever done. That wonderful, reliable motor is still, however, wrapped in a British car. Has anybody even seen one with a lot of miles on it? I don't think they get driven much. It will be interesting to see one ten years down the road with 100K on the clock. If it's anything like any other British machine (car or bike) on the planet, it will be quite thoroughly used up by then. The Celica and MR2 guys will have another source for low-miles motors.
