Question: There are plenty of new sports cars on the market for 2005, and readers are all over the map on which they would choose for their garage.

Answer: I wouldn't trade my Lotus Elise for all the tea in China. the Elise is a street-legal race car that achieves its performance through innovation and lightweight purist design. It may not be the fastest car on the market, but it certainly offers the best driving experience.

Michael Sands, Sunnyvale, Calif.

(I knew I needed to respond to the Fast Poll but did not do a very good job of crafting my response. I guess the good news is that I got another picture in the magazine and my response was published. Better than the alternative...)
