That car looks so much hotter in silver than any color besides red. And I usually don’t really like silver. Do it. ---

Silver with the black wheels…ugh, so hot. That car brings me back to my childhood days and my obsession with robocop for some reason. I heart it. ---

It’s supercharged (+35hp), the suspension is way better, LSD Externally, it shares no body panels, even though they look a little similar, its a fastback. ---

It’s a nice car and all, but I have to ask why you got rid of the elise to begin with.To the average person these cars look identical. I mean I’m not here to be the judge, but with the way you go through cars and the price of this car it doesn’t seem to be that good of an idea. If I were in your boat I’d personally be looking for a used C6 zo6 or something along those lines. Can’t beat 505hp with the remaining factory warranty and the fact that some old guy probably never drove it to begin with. ---

Mabey his old one dissapointed in some way that this won’t. I SAY if you don’t like the color, for that price, keep looking/waiting. ---

^yeah but to a car guy the exige is a lot different of a car. i say do it based on this alone: it’s a car you’ve been looking into purchasing, at an AMAZING price; you can sell it in the summer if you don’t like it, and probably wont lose a penny on it.
