A 6 cylinder Elise wouldn't change my mind, but if they were to announce a street legal Exige (S1), I would definitely wait for that 
It's wont take them that long. What is there to change?grudkin said:I would most definitely wait if an exige is announced to be coming in short order. BUT, I would doubt that Lotus would premier the Elise and simultaneously tell us that a hotter car is coming soon.
Would bet on a year or two lag at least, and in that case I'll take the Elise now and 'upgrade' to Exige later
It's not idle speculation from me. I find speculation a bit annoying unless there's a bit of fun involved.LarryB said:Sure, this is speculation at this point. But if Lotus has the car in the wings, you in effect split the Elise line the std a better more affordable everday car. The exige for those willing/able to spend the extra money and live with a car with even a harder edge ( and the preformance that goes with it). IF the car is close let the word out now, other wise I agree say nothing & release it a year later.
I agree. That won't make any sense. When the Elise comes out, you want all eyes to be on the Elise and not the next model or Elise variants.grudkin said:BUT, I would doubt that Lotus would premier the Elise and simultaneously tell us that a hotter car is coming soon.
