Oh, the Esprit is very much an Exotic - with a capital E.
This guy back home bought one. Very proud of it and all (as well he should have been). We're all standing around admiring it. Mind you, NO ONE is within 5 feet of the car. One of the screws holding in one of the parking lights jumps out, bounces twice, and lands head down, threads up on the asphalt.
No words are spoken. 7 people stand around open-mouthed. Jack very calmly picks it up, pockets it, and says... "Soooo... Highest specific output 4 cylinder, ever!" You've gotta hear this thing rev!
Maybe 4 wheels aren't so bad after all... wickett.org

Forgot to mention that I had modified the H shifter to an h shifter.

Good times...
I had the pleasure (???) to drive a friend's Alfa Spider for a couple of weeks, and it sure did sound good... but the handling was squirrelly, the switchgear inside was cheap and incomprehensible, I never figured out how to get the defroster working, and it was slooow... not so exotic, but purely Eye-talian...
