^^ back in the elise days... the dealer held deposite looong before MSRP and options were known. so i suspect the same here that the exact US option, costs, msrp is unkown - best to get in line now though if your serious about wanting to place your order for fed production.

i think the reviews and such out there are pretty good estimates - deposit just holds you for a slot in production of dealer allocation. once lotus pings dealer for order - they will call you to spec it out. (or offer you something if lotus sends them a generic order)

thats the way it worked with mine, my number came up from another dealer first though - i had no problems with criswell sales and they refunded my elise deposit in 2004 promptly.
