I actually saw one in Maryland in the summertime this past year. It still is an attractive car. As an aside, what a difference the old Top Gear is to the revamped Top Gear.
The manager of a local Walgreens owned one when I was growing up on the south side of Chicago. It was a really neat little car, and I remember oogling it with friends everytime we drove by on our BMXs.
I vaguely recall one of the big American car mags campaigning Kia to bring the Elan back to the US.
Sounds like it was a pretty respectable car, after all.
ReplyDeleteIt was made by Kia after Lotus production ended:
