I just confirmation today that I am number uno for a 2005 Lotus Elise 111S!!!!

I just have to wait 12 months!!!!!!

Just thought I would share. It is going to replace the S2000. I ordered a yellow one with the only option they are giving at the time.....a hardtop for the targa.

Here is the specs on the UK version, but it is going to look almost the same.

I doubt the car will be called the 111S when it arrives....

You also didn't order it (since no "orders" are being taken - you are first to place a deposit on the car - how much was your deposit?

iispms

you are right. I put a deposit on it and told them the color I wanted.

$500 was the deposit.

They are also only importing an estimated 2400 next year.

Thats awsome! I used to work with a lotus dealership for awhile and those are some amazing little cars. Do you mind if I ask how much $$ they are going to cost?

iispms

$38,500 is what I have been told. I called about 5 dealerships and it stayed pretty much the same.

The options keep changing though.

the latest is the hardtop and something with the wheels (maybe suspension)

I also find it hard to believe that you are #1 - some dealers have 20+ lists already.

Good luck on the wait! They are great cars, but not for everyday. If you are getting it for a weekend car or track car you will have lots of fun with it.

I am contemplating on getting the Lotus Elise...I have to see my options.

Lotus Elise would be #1 on my list if it stays under 40K, incredible car, very much a barebones car, but just a small sacrifice when driving an Elise! I wish they came north of the border

I think they look really cool, exotic without the exotic price. I'd get one if they would throw in a more powerful engine...
