Here's a wacky thought...
Maybe you should post the picture so we can see what you're talking about...

It's kind of weird - in the latest Road and Track (oct. 04) they have a short blurb on the "2006 Elise Mk. 3" with the same picture of the yellow Elise/VX220 lookalike as has been already posted in another thread.
Quote:
"In late 2005, an all-new version of the Lotus Elise, one that meets U.S. crash standards, will make its debut. The significantly wider car will be built on an all-new modular chassis, and will continue with the 190-bhp Toyota engine."
My guess is that, if this is true, the "MK3" Elise would debut in Europe first, then find its way to the U.S. a year later (2007 model year.) Plus, given Lotus' timeframes, it may debut in late 2005, but no one will be able to buy one until model year 2007.

Bigger and heavier with the exact same engine? Good! That way I won't feel tempted to buy it.etypeiii said:It's kind of weird - in the latest Road and Track (oct. 04) they have a short blurb on the "2006 Elise Mk. 3" with the same picture of the yellow Elise/VX220 lookalike as has been already posted in another thread.

I agree with a post from another thread that what you see here is a computer rendered pic of what actually is a early prototype of the recently applied for copyright PROTON sports car BASED on the Elise structure, and not actually a Lotus branded product.
