g and the sauce

I have done much research (too much!) on both of these cars and I am well aware of the strenghts and drawbacks of both cars. I have also driven both cars and must admitt the Lotus is more exciting to drive but I can't decide if it is worth $10-15K more. Not only is it more expensive but it will also be a little harder to get serviced where I am. That being said, it is very fun to drive and simply gorgeous. I'm looking for opinions- which car would you take and why? Please keep it to these two cars!

It takes a lot to offend me- in fact I think people are way to easily offended nowadays. Tonight is the last time that Chief Illiniwek (Illinois' indian mascot) will perform. That being said, are you offended by indian mascots or do you think that these mascots are honoring a heritage that is quickly being forgotten?
