Both the 4 cylinder and the 8 cylinder are sourced from Toyota. The V8 comes from the ISF. All of that's according to autoblog.

Elise sounds great to me. With the low weight and Cayman S power level, it'll be very quick without having to murder the drivetrain. It'll probably get decent gas mileage, too. Price is spot on for that level. It's something I could actually buy new and not kill myself for doing it. As long as it has the traditional steering response and feedback of a Lotus, it should be a killer sports car.
It's basically a Miata with twice the power but no real weight gain.

If these actually look like this, these could be some of the best looking cars on the market.
The elise is a little heavier than is ideal for a lotus, but still very low, and seems that it would be a blast to drive.

LMAO @ sparrow
I will definitely be a Lotus customer in the future instead of Porsche
1. Exotic looks
2. Great performance
3. Exotic name/ prestige badge
4. Reliable engine
