How much $$?

Its cute. Would probably be fun to drive for awhile.
Personally I would not have one. :2 cents:

the side portion looks good but i didn't like the front part..overall.. i juz think its okei..but i'm not impressed.. it actually looks weird maybe because of the headlights..

It's about $55,000 at max that's all. I can see how some wouldnt like it. I don't like the top color but I fell in love with the blue or black with black rims.

It looks like half a pair of trainers.

I'd hit it bareback! :thumbsup Now, can I drive it? :arcadefre :winkwink:

style wise I think its a POS, but from the "fun" part it seems to kick ass...

nice and ugly

that car is a beast. one of my favorites.

Is ugly a good or bad thing? :upsidedow

so they finally got it ok'd for the US emission standards?

theyre nice, zero comfort but nice

nah, i don't like the looks of it.. it's just too much of it.

I have been looking into getting one of these myself, there are tons of upgrades and the HP to weight ratio is awesome!! :thumbsup

Yeah.... they're fun to drive just because, even though the engine is small, they are so light that the power/weight ratio is good, and they handle like a go-cart, so great fun for a weekend zip around car.

But REALLY short on comfort... and the air conditioning SUCKS.

Actually, I'm not that crazy about it. :(

Like I said in my previous post....and since you live in South Florida also, BEWARE THE AIR CONDITIONING IS REALLY WEAK!

Looks like a toy car :)

there's a guy that lives in my area that owns a yellow one. fucking awesome car

I would get the exige instead.. much more powerful.

I'm thinking about getting one as well :thumbsup

I couldn't fit my penis in that car

Its the poor man's car.

I havent heard anything about the A/C but I really dont care to much about that.. Im in Downtown Lauderdale so its a 2 min. walk for me everywhere. I was just looking into one for a weekend cruse the beach ride. Who needs A/C when you can take the top off and hall ass!!

Thanks for the info though.. I am going to have to look deeper for a fix for that if I end up getting one.

say anything... but not ugly!
 

This is our new baby... so pretty it hurts! (...and when I say "our" new baby... I mean "aiken's" ... and if I'm good, I get to polish it!)

they have air??? they must have added that for the US market I guess. A friend owns one, its like a kart, theyre fast as hell, only things like a carver or a dutton etc are faster, but less comfort too.

Mind you the roof is hell and its not watertight. Hope they improved that with the 2005 model.

Nice ride. When can I borrow it?

It's an amazing car. All Carbon Fiber, super light and really fast. I'm up for one, I don't think they sell them in the US yet though only Europe.

Chick car

the silver hard top with the black rims is siiiick

I think they are just fantastic looking. Surprised I haven't seen more of them, given the price

Thank you to everyone who gave information in this thread I will save this and bookmark for later use. Ganja that's extremely nice and N.. what a nice way to use your first post! I love that car thanks for posting the picture! Thinkx and AJ, I believe they now sell them in the US because there a few around Massachusetts for sale so I'm pretty happy about that. I hope everyone is having a marvelous day. :) I'm off to reformat and fix my neighbor's computer. (That will be fun)

we have the same problem, balls are too big as well :1orglaugh

:smokin

great car,
exige turbo which is like the coupe version of it is one of the 10 fastest cars in the world ever to be produced. Beats easily most of the supercars you have in mind.

I do beleive it has the Toyota Celica motor.

God damn, Blaupunkt rulez the world ! :thumbsup

ever drove a real gokart?

mine would pull 3 g's in the turns

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa how cute I could fit that in my truck if I put the seats down

theyre very ugly

i dont think my legs would fit

I was going to get one, but they're nothing special at all( don't get me wrong, I think it's cool ;) )

Toyota engine, 140hp or something... NOTHING on the inside, it's basically a track car.

I got a mini cooper instead, I have 220hp+.. a little bit more weight, a lot more extras and it handles even better than the lotus :)

so ugly it could be a kit car from the 80's

i prefer the older models, they were alot betetr looking, look too compacted now.

It looks like a toy
