The Lotus Elise Series Two (2001-2010) was like the cool kid in school who got a makeover. Teaming up with General Motors, the Elise strutted in with a revamped Series 1 chassis and engines courtesy of Toyota. By 2005, it made its U.S. debut, despite a few hiccups with headlights and bumpers. Each model year brought upgrades, from power boosts to a fresh set of LED tail lights and even a “drive by wire” feature. The Elise became heavier over time, but hey, so did we all!
