In the pics, the Aspen White seems like a less intense Moonstone Silver!
I bet that MS will boost even more this pearl metallic effect that AW already has!

I have been told there are some production issues with the seats - supposedly the new carbon fiber backing on them is taking longer than expected or something.

I agree that this isn't a good sign that we are 5 months into Lotus's model year (starting in Oct of 08) and I haven't seen an 09 yet. Sounds like they are still trying to sell the Exiges at the port. I am afraid Lotus is going to have their hands full trying to push 50 units of production of these here - let alone the Elises and Exige 240's. If I were a dealer, I wouldn't be ordering these unless someone came in, put a deposit down and placed the order.

Regarding the seats, correct; Lotus can only build 6 seats a week so the 260 is taking longer to arrive. There's hardly ANY Exiges left at port but this would not delay Lotus in bringing the 260.

This is not the first time Lotus brought in a model late and although you will have some dealers order 260 for stock, the majority have taken deposits as they should and agree that as a dealer, I wouldn't order without a deposit/customer in hand.

Since there will be only 50 Exige Cup 260 cars in the US and another 40 for Europe, does anyone know if the cars will come with a limited number build plate?

And I don't think the US cars will be labeled as 260 "Cup". The pictures of the Exige 260 at the LA show didn't say Exige on it or have the S decals on the sides. I do wonder if the actual delivered cars will lack that labeling. Also - I see the European car has CUP 260 in the seats and where the passenger air bag is - the US show car didn't have any of that. Instead we have HANS on the seat??? People are going to think it is a Lotus Hans when they look in the car.

Ok then! It seems that Europe will keep the "Cup 260" for its cars! ; )

btw, the HANS logo exists on all cars, cup-labeled or not!. I guess they won't be confortable for big frame drivers, not to mention that they won't be as confortable as ProBax seats are already!

Yes it is a US street legal car. Same engine - different engine management programming and accusump.

+1 The IC tubes are different too. I don't know about the air box/filter. Internally - the same and I think the injectors are too.
