The 2007 Lotus Elise is a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive, midengine roadster available in one package - seriously awesome. It’s a no-frills exotic with exotic capabilities at a non-exotic price. Imagine buying two middle-of the line Toyota Camry’s and you’ve got yourself an Elise. The interior is incredibly spartan, but in an exotic way you’ll never cease to impress with (or be impressed by).
Nevertheless, all the must-haves are there. Let’s do a rundown.
First, there are two packages to customize the Elise with:
Touring Pack:
Includes leather seating, power windows, a stowage net, a double-insulated soft top, additional sound-deadening material and full carpeting.
Premium Pack:
Provides leather trim on the shift knob and parking brake handle, an upgraded sound system with satellite radio capability and an iPod adapter, and a cupholder.
Features:
190 HP 1.8 liter I-4 Engine
0-60 in 4.9 seconds (this is Ferrari territory)
Track-tuned suspension
A/C (with delete option to save weight)

It’s 3:30pm and you’re about an hour outside of that two hour lunch meeting that’s basically sapped any energy you had today. The florescent bulbs are starting to burn and the influx of e-mails in Outlook have become a blur. If you were to rate your productivity on a scale of 1-10, you’d give it something close to a negative 3. It’s time to take a nap.
The entire continent of Europe believes in it, our friends below the border call it a ’siesta’ and most every other civilized country knows that taking naps results in increased productivity, so why not us?
What this means to you: It’s time to make your employee’s afternoon-productive and get them a MetroNap pod. If not for them and the advancement of your workforce (and who wouldn’t want that) then get one for that friend you owe big or yourself… you deserve it. It’s a spherical shaped mecca away from the chaos of the office. It’s ergonomically perfect and designed to look the same. Plug in your iPod and make the rest of your afternoon worth it.
Full specs and more photos of the pod info after the jump.
Cost: $12,000 @ MetroNaps
