My plan was to order a hard top w/ my car. But man the top on the exige really looks cool w that scoop on top. Is that top something we can get, as i dont want to order the exige top later after i already bought the regular hard top?

Gerry,

If you like the Exige so much wait till next summer and you will be able to buy one from a Lotus dealer. It should even have more power than the current Elise.

Best Wishes,
Mitch

But do we know if it will be street legal or track-only????

I guess we'll have to wait till summer of 2005 and see, but I hear it's coming.

Hey did HRM, put your order in. I gave mine a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure if Mark submitted them yet?? I think you told me you were #13.

Best Wishes,

I contacted Mark a while back, and although he told me they were not ready for the second batch of orders yet, he was happy to take my info if I knew what I wanted, in order to expedite things. I haven't spoke to him since, but I haven't heard anyone say that Lotus had asked for the second batch yet

Gerry,
YOu'd also have to do something with a rear window for roof scoop to look right as exige is a fast back.

Mitch,
I love an optimist!!!!!

Ooh.... maybe I'll have to put in a deposit on the Exige !!!

Maybe I can get one in the first batch !!!

:-D

I'll bet if you decide not to get it you could always sell your spot

 

[gerry k]

Is the Exige in 2005 a for sure thing? I could wait if I know I only have another one and a half years to wait. Hell, whats another 1-2 years when you have already waited this long.

 

[zvezdah1]

NO way is it a sure thing. For one thing, I don't see them bringing it over here unless it's got more hp than the US elise. Don't really understand them selling the elise and exige with same motors in UK. As it stands the new exige is merely a hardtop elise more/less, and at a higher price.

Also, I question whether or not it could come in under the same waivers the Elise has gotten.

Chris,

Like I said this is what I hear, the Exige is coming in 2005 to the US with a more powerful engine. Again this is just what I hear. Only time will tell what Lotus really does.

I dunno, but rear visibility sure seems like it would be a problem

Rear visibility wouldn't be an issue in terms of being street legal. You can pretty much paint your rear windows black as long as you have mirrors on both sides of the vehicle. Just look at all of those conversion vans with curtains in the rear windows...

The Chrome Orange looks nice, but not $1200 nice. If it was Lava Orange I'd be all over it. I would consider the Krypton Green because I like "different" but it has just a touch too much yellow in it so I'll probably end up with Ardent or Magnetic.
