Oh and Red Zed...you say the s2k is more of a pure sports car? Why would anyone build a "sports car" with the only model being a convertible. You're automatically weaking the chassis by doing that, and if you choose to add chassis re-inforcement under the car, you're adding weight. So, just because the s2k is small, light, and makes 120 hp/liter, I would contest that the fact it is only offered as a convertible kind of kills it as a pure sports car.

The s handles and feels more like a pure sports car. Some people will argue that a car must be a roadster to qualify as a sports car, asl well.
If you agree the lotus is more pure, I think we are done here. I was just responding to your "pure sports car in every sense" comment.
