After reading the thread asking about the viability of mid engined coupés....
Is there a market for a Golf/Jetta based Elise S1 look-a-like if it was cheap enough?
You don't see the elise around as much and there are cheap golf GTIs around. Would price point make it viable, or is it just too Lotus looking?

The moulds have been for sale for ages, i have spoken to the guys a couple of times now. I keep mulling it over but I have concerns.
1. It looks like a Elise, the newer Elise was everywhere at one point but i don't seen them around very often these days, so maybe it now looks different enough to be viable.
2. A used Elise can be got for around £10k.
3. The kit market is a fraction of the size that it was when GTM was looking at this, with a used Elise available for about £10k why would you build one probably for more money.
I like the car, always did, but did not see the crappy one that was shown by "gtm" after it was bought out. I'm just not sure that it is viable.
There are many negative comments on the PH forums, i'm leaning on the side of "leave it alone" but wheres the fun in that.
