No doubt it wouldn't be an Accord replacement
Lotus is able to sell a few thousand Elise's that definitely out-do the S in the 'raw' department. Admittedly, it doesn't have a 10K rpm redline
I recently drove a friend's and it made my S feel like a Cadillac in comparison. But for a single purpose vehicle, there is not much quite like it in NA. My S is the Berlina hiding in the back.
