Sorry, but I like that.
Apart from the colour of the interior
Didn’t say I don’t like it, but it’s not an Exige.
The things people will do to get on Exiges.com
This is who you set the alarm Sir,
This is where you plug your I pod in Sir,
This is how you fold the roof Sir,
Oh and if Sir buys this you will be eligible to join Exiges.com (If Mr Admin will let you on)

I’ll report back when I have been to Geneva on saturday.
hahaha
All cars get fatter as they get older though dont they. Look at an E30 3 series BMW or a Mk1 Golf GTi and compare them to the latest models.
I dont know why manufacturers do that. Look at VW. The Mk1 Golf was there smallest car, then as the golf grew they bought out the Polo and then as that grew they bought out the Lupo. In ten years time, the Lupo will be the size of a double decker bus and there will be 10 smaller models. Imagine how big the Golf will be then!!!
Isn’t it all down to safety & legislation?
Plus customer expectations i guess.
The car in the pic looks great to my eyes, won’t it be called a V6 Elise though??
Looks ok but it’s just a cheapo way to do it, forgetting to fit the roof and the spoiler. They should of done it with speed humps and just called it the v6 roadster or something. I think the back looks a little clumsy as it is.
If it does not have a roof then it’s not an exige.
They will be doing an Elise Coupe next.

It definitely should have a roof to be called an exige, it doesn’t really follow on from previous exiges without a roof and rear spoiler. Still looks nice though
The front discs and calipers fill the wheels nicely, should stop well with them!
To me from the front it has a look of the porsche carrera gt, if it had speed humps at the rear and an S1 elise type roof it would of been much better imho.
As is it really just looks like an after thought, I guess its a cheap way to try an sell more cars but why not just buy the hard top and some grommets for an S2 roof…

i agree mr pesky. ive been looking at it all night, and ive decided its an elise plain and simple…

and apparently loose a little off the top
They’ll call it an exige so they can keep it when they release the new Elise
Still not an exige though
No roof, no wing, not an Exige!
I hope I’m not stepping on anybody’s toes by saying this, but the roof of the Exige was not a proper roof (didn’t add much to the stiffness), and the wing was not a proper wing (not attached to the chassis and too small), so why all the fuss about this roadster? I think it looks gorgous!
the front just looks like a porsche now somehow, may be the color that puts people off…but as everyone said no roof and wing can’t be an exige…
