I'm sure it's fine with many, but when I look at the suspension, etc. on a corvette, I think "Hey, I would have done that that way, too!" and when I look at the suspension on my Infiniti, I think "WTF is that for? All it does is make creaking noises!?!" Sadly, the dealership doesn't know, either. Meh. I just have a problem with the Japanese thinking when it comes to design. I'm sure they feel the same about American cars.

As to the Elise, it's a tin can. Might as well say "Look what a Gixxer 1300 does with it's tiny engine!" Except the Gixxer is fast and the Elise is not.
