A new message board has opened for Lotus disscusion. All models of Lotus have their own section including the soon to US shores Elise, and the soon departing, but hopefully returning, Esprit. In addition, Lotus has an all new site that has been out for about a month or less. Cruise through the site and forum. I'm a Lotus fan, so thought you may want to check it out.

Heh...even their official site just photoshops the variable colors, pretty lame...I'm glad their bringing the Elises into the US though. It'll be nice to see something exciting and different on the road :)

Price is estimated to be around the $40k mark. I hope it stays that way. It's a simple sportscar and super light, just the way they've always been.

The Esprit has been over here for years. It's just departing from the lineup after the 2003MY.:(

I wish the gen I Elises had made it over here. I liked the looks of them better than the new one.

That will be really cool to see those driving around. How fast are they in a straight line

0-60 times for the Elise have been in the high 4 and low to mid 5 second times the Euro trim. Quarter mile times are in the low 14's to high 13's. Not much after that though. Handling is its game.
