    I came across this while roaming around last night. It seems like one of you should rescue it.

    Never cared for these. Isuzu engines and FWD. Passed on a cherry one a couple years ago. They worse than most FWD cars pull right at shifts when driven hard.

    I feel the same way. If I were somehow forced to own an uncool Lotus, I'd rather have an Eclat.

    I've never driven one, but always liked their lines, and their handling is supposed to be superb. Nice ones still fetch over $10k, so I'd consider that bad-boy.

    In reply to BoxheadTim:

    British Cars are like boats. The cheapest thing about owning one is buying it! After that, hold onto your steamy credit card!
