Lotus Elise

The US version of the Lotus Elise will use the Toyota-supplied VVTL-i engine and 6 speed tx. 190hp with Lotus engine management and cold air intake. Under 2000 lb. curb weight insures max. performance. Sticker price $40K!! The car magazines very rarely mention that this is the same drivetrain configuration as the Pontiac Vibe GT, they just mention Yamaha designed/Toyota Matrix.Just can't get any respect.
