My Lotus buddy Terry bought one.  He says it is the reincarnation of the
Europa, with a drop-top.  He's ecstatic about the handling.  He owns and
over-restored Europa S2 and an M100 Elan.  He also had driven a great number
interesting road cars, and is a competent, though not Nationals caliber,
autocrosser.

I have driven Terry's MR2 Spyder and found the handling very pleasant, but
have not had the opportunity to wring it out on the autocross course.
