Little fact. Lotus helped Toyota with the MR2. If you look at the tail lights on a 88-89 Esprit Turbo, they say Toyota. |

I'm getting one of these. I bet they'd be INCREDIBLY responsive to mods, since they're so light. Imagine, add 30 HP and the thing would MOVE! |

I'd hold out for an Exige version unless they won't make one.  |

Robert, Sounds about right with the price. I think these would be extremely successful if certain Toyota dealers were designated as Elise service centers. |

John, you bring up a good point about service I wonder if the Toyota service departments will do maintenance/warranty work on them. I believe they are going for the high 30's. |

I was wondering what dealers will be selling them? There don't seem to be very many Lotus dealers left in the U.S. is another franchise going to carry the Elise also? |
