I think I speak for a lot of people when I say....OH YEAH!!!

However...its just a nicer looking (IMO), overweight Elise.

No thanks. Neither car does anything for me. Is it just me, or has Lotus forgotten their heritage?

Yep, the Esprit is coming back. Thought they don't know if they are going to use the same name. Sometime in 2008, so its not too far away. From what I have read around the net, and in the mags, it will be around $100,000, and challenge the Porsche 911 TT, and V8 Vantage. I believe there are already spy shots of the heavily camo'ed prototype driving around England, and around the 'Ring. Can't wait to see it.

I can't wait for the Espirit. The Vantage is awesome, but seems to lack in the numbers department. Then again, no Aston has really been made to be a ***** to the wall racecar for the street. Love the look though, saw four at a dealer the other day, next to a Saleen S7TT. The Espirit will look nice next to the Spyker and the Carrera GT.
