Lotus sprinter sighted, Saw an orange sprinter today on campus. Options

[soulshadow]

I saw an orange lotus sprinter today. I always thought I would be the one who drives a car that nobody has or wants to ever drive cause it looks so weird and stylish.
Guess, I was wrong. This guy was probbally rich cause he had 18" chrome wheels and a nice babe sitting with him.






it looked like this but it was in orange. Damn wish I was rich. Still can't believe the MR2 are these guys cousins.

Okay, do your own research guys. First, it's called an Elise. I've heard it called a sprinter too, but I don't know if thats a nickname or just plain stupidity on peoples part. It's offical title is the Elise though. Second, the basic model, introduced in 1996, and featuring a 1.8lt.120bhp rover engine is really like an MR2. However, they made a bunch of other models which vary a lot in price and specs. Lastly, the Base model normally runs somewhere between $40,000(at least), and $60,000.

I just looked on a carlot's site that sold them. Some were as high as 53k. That's the most I saw. It's different here in America, we didn't get any except this new one. We also may have nicknames for stuff that you guys don't have over there in the UK. Please don't jump to conclusions about people being stupid, it's hard to make friends that way. I'm no expert at all though.
