Or, are ya just getting an early jump on April fool's Day?..... No wait.... They're bringing back the early 90's Elan! hehehe - none of these are bad enough to cry about.
 
hmmmm.... April 1st you say huh? .... if that's when they're disclosing it, and it's bad enough to cry about... well, then I'm apt to believe it to be a joke....

Just my thoughts... and trying to be optimistic about it and all...

Is it the new Europa? Production to start in July?

Hmmmm I'm liking the Europa S. Good looking car. Looks like a slightly more "grown up" Elise. How much?????
 
hmmmm... for some reason I don't think the Europa S would make SammyB cry foul.... something like the APX might though.

That's a LOT of wine.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif

But seriously:

https://www.grouplotus.com/mediactr/pr_download.php?pid=266

the news release says the price will be around ÂŁ33K in the UK, who knows what that would become if it ever crossed the pond.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
 
That'd be $50k plus... Not including the importing/destination charges, and dealer markups, and the extra added to the first year or so - (first-to-own-the-new-cool-model-premium, I like to call it). /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
