Default Lotus Elise in America

At Los Angeles Autoshow in the Concourse Hall, Lotus joined the likes of Lamborghini and Bentley as usual. I seemed that the Lotus attracted more attention than Lambo, Saleen, or even Brabus. Why? The Lotus Elise is going to be on sale very very soon.

Lotus is still very anonymous with the new generation (the one i'm in). Elise hopefully will change all that.


The US spec Elise will be like the UK S-versions with the new Exige engine.

I asked some questions to a Lotus USA spokesperson.
-The S2 Exige WILL hit US shores about next year.
-The Esprit replacement will also join rest of US line about a year after.

I seriously want to see more Lotus on the street. I saw only one Lotus on the road and it was a V8 Esprit.
