I think it's interesting that some cars transcend class lines. Like, if you want a Miata or a Prius you have to buy one of those because there is basically no bourgeoisie equivalent.
I've never driven any of the four but a Series 3 Elise seems like it would drive like a slightly-lighter, stiffer ND with an upgraded turbo. Tesla is very different than a Prius but the Prius is made for fuel efficiency which isn't something the bourgeoisie care about.

Bourgeois Miata is a Lotus Elise. Bourgeois Prius is a Tesla.
Nah, the experiences you get with the Elise and Tesla are fundamentally different.

I’ve driven the Elise we have at the Museum and the driving experience is nothing like the Miata. It’s like shooting an AR15 instead of a Camera.
And yeah the Prius has fallen out of favor over the last 15 years or so, but there was a time when it was the poster for greenwashing.
Priuses are like Teslas but good. I crashed a Hilux accidentally on purpose once. Feels bad
