2011 Lotus Elise showSlightly re-design, a basic cost of the new Lotus Elise is now twenty-seven thousand four hundred and fifty pounds in the UK. In the U.S., a new Lotus Elise is a more powerful car, but the price from forty-seven thousand two hundred and fifty U.S. dollars. Before you go, and that £ 27.450 approximately equal to 40,000 dollars in the United States, consider this: the British have the ability to buy a Lotus Elise around the same price as the Nissan 370Z. If only the same is true for us. British payment less a simple Lotus Elise than a BMW 135i - the reverse of the story for the U.S. consumers.
I do not care about the reason; the cost of manufacturing and sales, manufacturing shipments in the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom before the larger open boat across the Atlantic to sell some widely disseminated dealers. I just want to .... I wish the Lotus Elise is a high value proposition here, it is there.

2011 Lotus Elise pictureCompare a Nissan 370Z and the Lotus Elise is not so different comparing apples and oranges. Japan's V6 engine is the engine of a brutal, driving pleasure in a "I'm the boss" kind of way. The other is designed in Hethel and at the base UKDM form, using only the 1.6-liter 134 horsepower. Lotus Elise a project, the road as unindicted co-conspirators weaving flow and peristalsis and dexterity; allows its drivers to feel every crack in the asphalt. In fact, the user can select different UK driving environment at the same price for North American consumers should be green with envy.
2011 Lotus Elise Sport carsGreen, you say? 2011 Lotus Elise 1.6 only 155 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer.

2011 Interior Lotus EliseBut I must point out again that this is not a comparison test of the Nissan 370Z and 2011 Lotus Elise 1.6. Both cars seat two.

Nissan 370Zs handler, yes, but so much progress with the grip, with soft little manipulation.
Imagine back to back test drive to know the monthly payment, will be almost the same. Lotus will use less fuel, 370Z will make you feel comfortable. Nissan 370Z to power, are you out of the corner, such as the airship is 332 horsepower, Lotus's Elise can lead directly through the bottom with the throttle.
Lotus has no plans to demonstrate Toyota's 1.6L engine, its North American lineup of Elise. Hard to blame the small Malaysian-owned company. Its sales drop in the bucket of our coast is what challenges need to install a complete establishment of the North American sports car.
