Yup, Iirc 2011 is the last model year sold that was North America compliant. Dealers though are pretty active with getting used inventory.The Elise is still in production, but it no longer passes US safety regs so it can't be sold here.
I doubt too many people would be cross shopping the vette with the alfa
Cayman, m coupe, Lotus, maybe the TTEuropean small displacement vs. American large displacement. I agree there are people that are firmly in one camp that wouldn't consider something from the other.
So what are the other cars in the Alpha's class? I kind of doubt this is going to pull many Porsche fans either.
