Heh. Well spotted! For the "Futurama" fans out there, the "Scooty-Puff Jr." was a little kid's space-scooter that Fry was given to ride into interstellar battle against a huge death-star-like space station. Later, he returned with the "Scooty-Puff Pro: The Doom Bringer" which was an upgraded version with functional death rays instead of a bubble-blowing toy gun, as on the Jr. model...
I figured it was an appropriate handle for the Lotus Elise, which is just too cute for words... and with a Toyota 4-banger under the plastic hood, it doesn't seem right to think of it as anything but good, cute fun. Sort of like if Fischer-Price made a sports car!
I kid, I kid! I love the little Lotus. Great fun, great road feel, especially at the price.
