    Elise XL or Esprit Short? Third Lotus model spied during test
    Our spies in England spotted a prototype midsized, mid-engine $30,000 coupe that fits in the Lotus lineup between the Elise and a new Esprit. Officially the project remains “under consideration,” but this trimmed-out mule is eerily identical to a design published in U.K. Patent Office journals last fall. Insiders report at least six prototypes have been built, including one that has been crash-tested.

    How can it fit between the Elise and Esprit at $30K when the base Elise is just a bit over $40K and the Esprit is...what, $80K these days?.

    That said: more power to 'em :)

    A 30K lotus would be awesome. I hope they build it.

    By "$30k", I think they actually meant "£30k".
