190 hp Celica engine 1,900 lb's and tons of aftermarket Toyota parts available Yes, it is very small and extremly hard to get in and out of but so fun to drive. I just goes where you point it and really flies. He said the the next model up is absolutly sick...something like 300 hp? But this one at about $38,000 it's not too bad when it looks like $138,000 going down the road. God I want his job!

The hood vents don't need to be functional, the engine is in the back

Unlike the MR2, there appears to be plenty of venting on the rear engine cover and rear valance, so that aftermarket air scoops will not be necessary.

He means this:
Lotus Exige S2
Same HP, but less weight.
And IIRC, those hood vents are functional. Everything on that car is funtional. Totally built for the track. Check out the difusers under the rear valence. Definitely an affordable exotic. Almost all of the first run in the US is already spoken for.
