So, at $40780 in USA, at $1.8/£, that works out at £22655. Rip-off Britain alive and well I see.

Yep, could be the elise's biggest problem across the pond, by way of expamle:

Z4 - 2.5 = $35k, s2000 = $33k, 350z convertible = $35k, mr2 = $25k, MX5 = $23k and 2.7 Boxter = $43k.

Compare those to their UK prices and rip off Britian does come to mind, its been 2 years since we were at less than US$1.50 to the pound too! It will be a hard sell once all the enthusiasts are satisifed thats for sure.
