Have you ever heard an Elise? I haven't, not even standing 2 feet
behind one that started.. The owner said, I shouldn't really judge
the sound of his car, since he fitted the somewhat louder sports
exhaust - louder?!? My mothers Toyota Yaris sounds the same,
making close to no noise..

I my book, the Elise is a gem, but it totally deserves an
inspirering engine with a proper roar and naturally a carburated
Alfa 2.0 entered my mind.. :-)
