I think you guys are comparing apples and oranges. These are vastly different cars. The Crossfire can be used as a daily driver. It's good looking, reliable and fairly comfortable. Add to that it has decent performance and handling. It's a compromise. The Elise is not. It's a second or third car. Something you take out of the garage to refresh your spirit or race on the weekends .Both cars have a purpose, and their own strenghts and weakness.I think both are good.
