An eco-sports car?

Just read an article on Digg about the new Lotus Elise and was thrilled to find out that there are some sports cars out there that are not completely destructive to the environment! The new Lotus Elise boasts the lowest C02 emissions for performance in the world and does 45 miles to the gallon (apparently that's pretty good for a sports car!) My nearest Lotus dealer is in Maidstone so may pop along and take a look - slightly out of my price range at the moment but good to know about for the future...and for dreaming about a little too! Lipscomb Lotus in Maidstone seem to have a really nice looking showroom so may go and be nosy! http://www.lipscomb.co.uk/lotus
