5 new Lotus models
On BBC
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11440488
thing that worries me is the statement
' a relaunched Elise that will be both bigger and heavier than the old one.'
Not very Lotus is it.

The new product line-up will enable Lotus to target much wealthier customers who will be spending up to £135,000 on a car, compared with prices in the
region of £30,000 at the moment.
This is exactly what they did last time, which led to the pre elise bad times. Aiming at high end expensive supercars rather than ultra light, cheap
(ish) sports cars. They should stick to what they know. - great handling light weight fun cars.

And the current elise is heavier than the original. Perhaps someone should whisper "just add lightness" to them a bit more often.

Ooh dear, not sure about the new Elise, 316 horses sounds good but the styling is a bit wierd, Esprit looks tasty though

Hmmmmm. Apart from the Eterne, they're all the same. And none of them is a proper Elise.

The new Elise reminds me of the Honda Crx, that new hybrid one.
The Eterne looks like the Jag XF (which isn't necessarily bad)

They've just shown some film of the new cars on our local news (local company obviously), look a lot better than the PH pictures, still not keen
on the new Elise though, the others look good.
