There are many Elise in Richmond now days. I have heard many complaints from gfs to my sister, they think the Elise look horribly ugly and resemble to a cockroach. What's your thought

My gf or sister would be the last place I would be taking advice from about cars.

Theres also a lot of ugly eg's in Richmond. I don't see you starting any threads on that car.

I think it's alright... and my girlfriend would love to drive one. The car she's driving now is the same in terms of impracticality already anyway!

looks better than 95% of other cars on the road
at least it stands out like a sportscar, porsche for example doesn't even catch anyone's eye anymore unless its a gt3 or something exotic like that.

^ It's all in the Colour of the car. You can paint your Civic Orange and it'll catch people's eye. lol

6 series BMW is one of the ugliest cars out there, next to the 1 series. Both need drastic facelifts.

They'll shoot down the looks of the Elise and then a few blocks down they'll comment on how great the VW Beetle looks.

Well, taste is subjective. Even though I personally love the Elise, I can totally see why some people don't like its looks. It does look like some kind of critter.

The 6-series looks pretty good IMO..

07-19-2009, 09:18 AM
At least the gumpert apollo looks insane

Elise is pretty meh, and the panels don't look right. you can sort of see the effort in styling but... Doesn't look like it should cost that much

6 series is quite good looking, M6 is the best IMO

07-19-2009, 09:26 AM
The 6 series looks like it hasn't slept in about a week, and the 1 series looks like it's on some sort of euphoric drug.

wow looks very nice!

but most cars in that price range i imagine would have an awesome interior like that?

Blinky
07-19-2009, 10:32 PM
The Elise does NOT have an awesome interior.

If you want an "awesome interior" or "practicality" or "space" or even "comfort", go buy that Bimmer. The Elise is in a class of its own... and it's better for it.

Personally I think Elise's look great. Especially in that bright orange they have:

http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/attachments/f94/77316d1206541984-2005-chrome-orange-elise-sale-los-angeles-001.jpg

But the thing is, the Elise is function-over-form; purely a drivers' car for people who put handling and driving pleasure as a priority and looks as secondary.

Frankly, I love it even more because of that. Only those who are 'in the know,' will appreciate the Elise. I like it more than the new Evora, which is just so toned down, and looks like a take-off on the Tesla.

Pointless thread.

They look different, but I wouldn't say ugly.
That being said, I wouldn't buy the Elise purely on looks.

They both look like they have down-syndrome: ie droopy squished face.
