Default First Elise i've seen in the U.S.

I knew they existed but never thought i'de be able to it. It's even smaller than i imagine, but oh.. is it gorgeous. Has anyone else seen them in the U.S. yet? I would have taken more pictures but he had just gotten in the car and was driving away.

Yeah, I saw one that must've been undergoing testing by C&D or something, as it was running around the Ann Arbor area the same month that Lotus announced the US release. There's also a dealership in Birmingham that has quite a large stock of them, as well as a few Morgans (Aero 8 included) and a variety of other low-volume manufacturers.

It wa strange, I went to school one day looking for parking and I saw a lime greenish color Elise. It was definately a strange sight since I didn't think someone would actually have it already. It's really nice though, despite the awkward color.

The dealer is called AutoEurope and it's on the East side of Woodward Avenue just South of Maple road.

As far as 275 is concerned...it's alright, but I muuuuch prefer M14 and US23 late at night, much more open, pleasant places to drive, though most of my top speed runs have been on 696 between Telegraph and Mack.
