Lotus is Definitely*, Absolutely*, Positively* Bringing Elise to US*

*Unless it isn’t.

According to Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales, the next-generation lightweight Lotus two-seater sports car has a future in the United States around 2020 — that is, if Lotus is still around then.

The chief executive spoke to Automotive News and said the Elise could be adapted to the U.S. market’s famously fussy safety regulations, which eventually killed the current-generation Elise in 2011 in the States.

  • Arthur Dailey Still prefer the 59's. Auto styling as mentioned was in the 50's derivative of military aircraft styling, and the 'space age'. The '59 Caddies 'nailed this' in an in your face manner. If you are going to put fins on a car, why use small, vestigial, almost apologetic fins, like M-B did with their 110? I did have an appreciation for Dagmars, but the front end/grille of the '59 is so much cleaner and more modern than the '58.As for the back/trunk of these vehicles the '58 appears to me to be clunky and cluttered. Corey what about a column on the Eldorado Biarritz Convertible from 1959? I need to see if my memories are correct or have been tainted over time.
  • Oberkanone Why would you want one? Nostalgia?
  • Arthur Dailey Really enjoy seeing these loyal survivors. The listing seems to prove the adage that the person who owns the car is more important than the make or model of the car when it comes to long term service/reliability.
  • ToolGuy If you could see how well my FFIE position is faring, you would understand how brilliant I am not.
