wow... talk about missing a lot of the point in that article.
Sure, they switched to the Camry engine for North America, but the extra power was needed because the North American version is heavier.
And that while 'most of the car rags' describe the elise as the most pure of sports cars, it's not quite the case for the North American version. You're going to get ABS, you're going to get A/C, and you're getting more sound deadening material and I think the radio is new for NA as well... not 100% sure tho.
And then you have to pay extra for the sport package for pure sport car-like performance, and forget about driving in unsunny weather if you don't shell out more for something to keep your interior dry.
Still one helluva car.. I'd love to wedge myself in one
