Lotus has many advantages that the original Jaguars did. These cars take mundane parts from larger, better-funded, civilian vehicle-making companies and put them together in just the right combination for performance. They then design a stylish body around all of this and package it into a cheap supercar that puts others to shame. These cars from Lotus provide blistering, seat-of -your-pants excitement and performance at a price that ranges from $47,250 for an Elise to $81,090 for a top-price Exige 260. Every one of these prices put more expensive and less useful cars to shame. I know I shouldn't be talking about this if I'm comparing supercars, but the Highway fuel ratings ranges from 26-27 MPG, so it beats out others and you don't need to pay a huge gas guzzler tax for it. What's not to love? Buy one or get a ride in one and you'll see. It's even a better giant killer than the Corvette AND has a better interior. Photo from www.edmunds.com
