One of the instructors brought an Exige to the school. It was a rocket.
 
Did you get to drive it?

No, I didn't know the owner.

I've been on the track with an Elise or two before. They come out of nowhere and blow by like you are standing still. Very fast cars.
 
I've never driven one either and I don't think I should - I know once I try one I'll have to own one.

They may be fast, but they're ugly ---- looks like a kit car.

I am glad someone else noticed that. They do look like a kit car. An ugly kit car. But very light and fast.

IMO the Elise is good-looking enough, although I wouldn't call it beautiful. If it looks like a kit car, that's because it's so minimalist.

I am pretty sure that the Exige looks like the kit car more than the Elise, due to the bolted on exterior trim pieces.
 
The headlights are the weak spot in the design appearance, but otherwise I think it looks exotic, and certainly the performance is stellar. When I had one for a short while, it turned more heads than you can imagine... and got tons of positive reactions.

When it comes to cars, people tend to always react positively to anything foreign, sporty, and rare, regardless of whether it is a visual work of art.
