The car is nice, but for some reason, I tend to shy away from large engine sportcars. Maybe that's why I like japanese cars so much more. I would love to see and test drive one but I would never buy one. Lotus Elise though, that's a car I would buy in a heart beat if I have the $$.

yep Lotus sells cars here. not too many dealers. you can also buy certain cars direct from Lotus USA, like Elise, Exige.

Astons are sold usually together with Ferraris or Land Rover, since they are both owned by Ford.

Yessss the Elise 2. it's also on my list. Current list:
Lotus Elise 2
EVO VIII
MINI Cooper S
RX-8.


The TVR is in case the Lotus doesn't make it over the pond but the TVR does

That list looks pretty good. Here's mine:
Elise 1 or 2
EVO VII and everything after
RX-7 (hopefully it'll come over)
Skyline GT-R (when it comes over)

Since the TVR is made in left hand drive.

The Cerbera Speed 6 would be the perfect ugly car to add next to the M Coupe

Ferrari isnt owned by Ford...... I guess you were saying Land Rover and AM are.. ok yeah that makes sense.

I was jsut playing around, but itll be a cool way for Lotus and TVR to extend their reach into new markets.

Even though Fiat might be bought out 100% by GM, Ferrari is excluded. So we wont be seeing a Ferrari V12 in the Suburban, thats too bad

I know of the GM/Fiat dilema. But for some reason Ford and Ferrari make me shudder.
