Can't agree more. I've spent some time in these flexi-flyers -- even the 
original Exige. Fun for track use, but that's about it. As for the front end 
styling, which IMO seemed more Asian than British, it seems Hennessey 
Performance can't get enough of it. Check this out:

It's an Elise ... no, it's a Carrera GT ... no, a Saleen S7 ... I'm getting a 
headache.
