We prove that if X is a, separable infinite dimensional Banach space then its isomorphism class has infinite diameter with respect to the Banaeh-Mazur distance. One step in the proof is to show that if X is elastic then X contains an isomorph of C 0 . We call X elastic if for some K < for every Banach space Y which embeds into X, the space Y is K-isomorphic to a subspace of X. We also prove that if X is a separable Banach space such that for some K < every isomorph of X is K-elastic then X is finite dimensional.
