Looks good.
I actually think it looks better in white than the exige

Chat about better real world performance, grip, usability, reliability - all valid points. But better looking? Dear oh dear....

Both completely different cars, but both look good in white. I have a thing for white cars incase no-one noticed! Everytime I see a pic of the Exige I just want it back. RS is definately better for daily use, and it's also a bit of a change for me. Like to try different things. Hoping that the price of GTRs will come down in the next few years as I'd really like to buy one of those!

Jen, will let you know about the curry night. Have my stag doo that weekend too and Gillian is away for her Hen night. Might manage to come along for a couple though!

Shug - agreed that performance and grip are definatley better in an Elise/Exige, but not sure how you got reliability into that sentence too?? Would expect my RS to be far more reliable and not need a huge list of repairs at annual service time (and the Exige was only at two years old!!!)

Read it again....

I'm saying I'd not blink an eye at debates about the performance and practicality virtues of the RS, but surely the looks thing isn't even in the same ballpark.

I still think it looks good!!!!

edit: t'is a bit boxy in comparison, now you mention it.

Not slagging your car mate. It does look good. For a hatchback.

No issues here Shug. Couldn't agree more. Still love the looks of the Exige - and the performance - and that's why i'll get another one day.
