nice find. I generally don't like white cars, but I think it looks surprisingly good. Even better with the stripes though...

So is there any hope we will get this car in 2005 in white?

White looks good, I wonder why it wasn't offered?

word is it wasn't very popular in the UK

I love the "stormtrooper" feel that thing has. Man, I'd almost consider getting that if they had it here.

The stripes accentuate the lines very well with the lighter background color. If it was offered, I would have had a hard time ordering CO. White is always clean and doesn't show road scars well either.

Great find! Thanks for posting!
More pics can be found at another japanese website.

And please please please...
if you're interested in white,
then lobby your salesman, sales manager, dealer and/or lotus rep for its introduction into the US market!!!

Isn't it available in Australia?

White is not a common colour in UK / Europe. In fact, it will often reduce the second hand value of your car.
In Australia, white is a much more common and requested colour for cars, mainly due to the higher temperatures and heat from the sun, compared to UK D )
That said, IMHO a white Elise still looks very very bland. Maybe with some big stripes down it, it would look a bit better. But that is what choice is all about !!
