Oh I think you ment Esprit. Elise is the new small one.I would really like to get one of these as well. I always loved the look of Esprit and I respect them as a company. They arent incredibly expensive used(60K range, low mileage MY2001-02) and they have that exotic look to them. A bargain to me compared to Ferraris, Porsches, Lambos and Aston Martins of the same years.
