Could the 'Hokey-Cokey' actually be what it's all about?

This review reads like it was written by a 10yr old. Doesn't handle as well as the original Elan because it's front wheel drive? Utter nonsense.

And the Esprit review is just as bad... turbo let's it down because turbo technology wasn't sufficiently advanced. Mmmm.

Yes but to prospective buyers it could be off putting with subsequent affects on prices.

they sure know the elan exists, but really cant make their mind up about what they think of it.... you'd think a car more than 30 years old would have its opinions set in stone by now
