Lotus Elise
I know it's old news (the Elise coming to the US) but Road & Track has an excellent article on it.
For those who don't know, it uses a tuned Toyota Celica 4-cyl. ( only 190 HP/133 lb. ft of torque), but weighs under 2000 pounds. 0-60: 4.8 1/4 mile: 12 flat And they say it can outhandle a Ferrari! List is $39,000.
