we keep on going back and forth on the s2000 vs elise.
As I stated before I dont care much about the Elise, but i do think it is a
better sports car on track, but it should be its more money. It seems like people dont look at the fact of elise being 20k more.

For what it's worth, somebody local just reported they got a brand new '08 CR for $26.2k. I have no idea what the street price of a new Elise really is, thogh.

As far as the price difference, very low mile used S2000s with hardtop seem to be $25,000-26,000, while 05-06 Elises with under 40,000 run $24,500-$30,000, so the price isn't very different for the cars I would consider.

In my experience: all of them. Non-enthusiasts, male and female, just see the S2000 as a slightly larger Miata -- nothing interesting. Conversely, they all recognize the Elise as something out of the ordinary.

I'm going to autotrader.com to check the prices.......I'm hardcore,i drove cars on the floor with bodykits and i couldn't go in certain gas stations and i couldn't go down some blocks.I even drove the S2000 from New York to Florida,solo..........1200 miles.I might even pull the a/c out..If i got an Elise it would be the chrome orange one.....

I saw an Exige this weekend on the freeway. Every time I see one, I remember how much I want one.
Then I put the top down, threw my guitar in the trunk, grabbed a passenger and headed out to the coast and realized how nice it is to not have a car payment.
