Isnt the lotus elise powered by a toyota engine?
yes

and don't be knocking on geo metro's, I pissed of quite a few people in the twisties with one...

Even more sad is the people building them up with larger turbos and laying down times that put most supra owners to shame...

LOL Nate!

The Elise uses the 2ZZ-GE (Celica GT-S 2000+, the Vibe GT some Corolla's and such...) or a supercharged version(Exige S), I'm not sure if I was to call it a 2ZZ-GZE as I'm not sure if it is a Toyota supplied Supercharger.

The Exige is supercharged? I didn't know that.

There's a local guy with a supercharged Elise around here. A local company developed a SC kit for it. It's a bad-ass car. I got a ride in it one day, even got to drvie it around a parking lot.

The new Acadia from GMC is Toyota powered and i think designed too.

the way GM put it together im amazed they havent had a total recall b/c within the first month of being out i saw like 6 come in at the dealership i work at w/ all kinds of problems like: every single bolt on the trq converter loose, electrical problems out the wazoo, and the A/C likes to crap out.
