[Stormy320]

I wanted a 240S and an 07 Exige was never on the table despite the lower cost.

Here is what I have observed.

There seems to be very few 08 240S Exige's. I assume Lotus is only sending ones they think they can sell, unlike prior years.

09 will probably have more power.

A wide body kit may be available at some point.

Exige value's plummet, but perhaps not as bad as an Elise. Can't understand why except perhaps my / our taste and appreciation of Lotus is very micro and most Americans could care less about them.

Other Lotus dealers have already pulled out and if the Eagle doesn't take off (I think it will) their days in the US will probably be numbered.

You will never get any hint from Lotus and probably little from your dealer.
