    I didn't know the Lotus Elise was designed as an electric car from the outset.

    No 911 hybrid for now, apparently.

    I didn't say that none purpose all electric sports car were bad like the Boxster E, and other cars, all i said was that they were at a disadvantage, i don't think there bad if their not none purpose all electric sports car and just a extra model to the model line.

    Your post is difficult to understand.

    But in any case,

    The Tesla is a modified Lotus Elise.

    ^^^ Yes I know, I'm just leaving it at this, this is my opinion, I don't really like the Boxster E and I think it may have a hard time trying to compete with a car like the Tesla.

    The reason Aston are not discontinuing the DB series is because not only DB series is one of the cheapest Astons available but it also sells in large volumes even now.

    That does make, pretty much, no sense at all.

    ^^^ I didn't even know we were talking about the Aston Martin DB series, is that why he's banned because he says stupid things?

    >Gah< Got a handle on Porsche's relative competitiveness, do you?

    PS: WTF does "none purpose" mean?

    I'm not "messing" with your posts. I'm making them readable, as surely you've noticed that many members here have trouble not only with the content of your posts but their structure. As you seem to have considerable trouble with grammar consider them free lessons, and pay attention. The occasional typo is fine.
