haha, the Audi TT is VERY econobox. They put curvy body panels on a Golf/Jetta/GTI. Seriously. The base model Audi TT has the same 180hp 1.8t and tiptronic automatic driving the front wheels as every college girl's Jetta. The basic floorpan and suspension are the same. The VW Golf R32 selling for $30k has the same AWD system as all the TT Quattros up to the $45k 3.2 DSG - which also has the same VR6 engine as the R32.

Now, the Lotus Elise - that's a 1.8, naturally aspirated even (Toyota 2ZZ-GE) and that's definitely no economy car.
