Kinja'd!!!

Maybe some of you share this opinion.

I think the Series 2 Elise (well, all Elises, but the second generation in particular) is one of the most batshit-insanely ugly cars ever built. The boomerang vents. The insectoid lights. The disfigured mirrors. Every single part of it makes me want to barf. It’s on the level of Richard Hammond and the Nissan Juke, but at least where I live, I never have to see one in person or I’d crash my car trying to get away from it. Sure, it may be good to drive, but I’d much rather have an MR2 and not hate myself as I drive for the aesthetic damage I’m inflicting on my fellow motorists.

I see them often and they’re certainly weird, but I don’t hate them.

That said, the Tesla Roadster, which is built on the same platform, is a far more attractive car and something I’d have no problem owning/driving everywhere.

I’m surprised someone feels so strongly about the looks of the Elise. I see them all the time and for the most part, I’m just a bit eh on the looks. Got a good stance though, surprisingly wide and properly low.

A black Exige looks great, they can look better, but it’s more about the driving experience.

I like the way it looks. I’m not sure I fit inside though.

I see a weird combination of a modern McLaren, a super-happy Mazda, and a Juke.

...except that the Elise came along before any of those.

Saw one in SoHo about 11 years ago, lime green, guy waxing poetic about it to his friends, and his hot girlfriend mouthing the words to me: “It’s mine.”

It’s possibly the only car of its era that’s aged well. I mean have you ever even seen 2000 MR 2? It doesn’t even look like a real car, it looks like something Ken would drive.

Other than the lights and the mirrors, they actually look great in person.

Saw one just this week, they look much better in person, the proportions get skewed on pictures.
