hah, funny you should mention. This is the time, every year, when I get my car tax bill, and not coincidentally, every year when I think about selling the car
The Evora never really caught on. Its heavy and looks a tad plain in comparison. Interior is gorgeous though, and a mid engine car with a back seat is kind of awesome. I dont think it sold too well, if it had, it wouldnt be too hard to just put a damn airbag weight sensor under teh seat liek every other car onthe road.
Elise and Exige have not been sold in the US for a few years and as a result the value on my car has been ever so slowing creeping up. Not enough to offset insurance and aforementioned car tax, but better than selling it to get a FR-S (or Cayman) and losing 3/4 of the value in a few years.
at least there is the Alfa 4C coming soon to take up the "agressive looking small mid engine sports car for under $60k" mantle
