Lotus has offered us a car like this in the Elise/Exige. Sold OK, but not such a success that I see them around much... and Lotus USA is headquartered just a few miles from my home.

To be honest, it's not the sparseness of this car (which I actually like), it's the unbelievable smallness of it, coupled with a rather absurd price, considering how bare bones the car is, that turns folks away from it.
I'd love to see someone over 6'0 try to get in one.
