Asuka, the Esprit is no longer made. Second hand they go for anything from £5,000 up to £40,000. You do the maths...
To compare an Elise to a Vette would be to compare an otter to a walrus. Sort of, anyway. The Elise would accelerate slower above, say, 50 mph. Top speed must be 30+ mph down on the chevy. It has less room for people, much less for luggage. It uses less petrol, has no fancy HUD or satnav. Electric windows are a recent development, and add weight so should be avoided if poss. in the pint-sized Brit.
The Elise is about feeling. Turn-in.
The corvette - and I love corvettes - would feel wholly ponderous after a drive in the lotus. Horses for courses...
