Obviously, it's a hypothetical quesition, since the M250 was stillborn. But....
If Lotus offered a M250 that had:
1) 250-275hp;
2) weighted 2,500 lbs;
3) priced from $45K to $55K (optioned); and
4) about the same size as a Porsche Boxster,
5) and look something like this:
then would you choose a M250 over the current Elise?
My thoughts are if I were looking for a track/weekend car, an Elise w/o the touring package and with the sport suspension would be the way to go. If I needed something to drive to work more than once a week, then the M250 would be the way to go.
I'm just trying to get an idea if there really is a market for the M250. I'm hoping Lotus will introduce it between the Elise and a eight cyclinder turbo charged Esprit...and just foregoing a lightweight SUV altogether.
