So based on press ‘reports’ Lotus are in the $hit again 
So looky likey no S3 V6 to me - anyone got cash down ??? 
What do mean ‘again’ 
& what is your source of this latest information?
Quite a few have orders for the V6 Exige, some since the Frankfurt show with the dealer my order is with 
Just spoke to them too today. Apparently the s/c Elise line is moving.
When I know more on the official dealer line i’ll post it up 
No worries.
er…
Lets hope Genii with help from Cameron keep it alive in Norfolk.
Do you think they have both the money and inclination to back the current plan though; or will they want a lower cost option to buy into? If the latter then maybe they are not the best solution for Lotus.
In the fictional universe of the science fiction television series Stargate Atlantis, the Genii are a human culture living in the Pegasus galaxy (see also: Human civilizations in Stargate Atlantis). Although they appear to be simple Amish-like farmers, the Genii are an advanced, militaristic society, they have been both enemies and allies to the Atlantis Expedition. Nevertheless, Teyla Emmagan believes that outside of Atlantis, they represent the galaxy’s best hope of defeating the Wraith. 
Podger - do you have pills to take at lunchtime? :whistle:
Steve - no idea! I personally would like to see the Esprit & Exige variants + continued development of the Evora. If the plans use the VVA system & guess other models could happen too, but perhaps not as many as 5 or 6. Genii may be a good bet if Hicom does the dirty.
China Youngman OTOH, sounds like the ‘girl interest’ from a 70’s martial arts flick 
Podger - are you a victim of too much LSD?
Eh up … podgers on the shrooms !!

Sorry to dissapoint Evora GTE road car will be here before the Exige V6 and then the V6 (Elise/Exige) roadster
Production will take a couple of months to get back to normal, but dont think we will see the gte till late summer/early autumn

Chris you should have spoken to your local dealer, this is utter crap and just the sort of thing that TF at Caterham likes to hear/see;
I understand there is a huge back log of cars to be built indeed a large number of cars almost finished awaiting small items from suppliers who couldent/wouldent supply during the duediligence period.
Your local Lotus dealer can give an update to customers regarding the V6 coupe and roadster
Tim anynews on your Evora S delivery

Yep, this June. I will have to pay a second deposit when the build actually starts, no news on that yet however.
Really pleased to hear that production is about to/has commenced again. Now they’ve embarked upon a particular course/strategy, they’ve just got to deliver, otherwise it’s obviously curtains.
350 orders for an Exige nobody has driven yet is pretty impressive. Looks like Evo will drive one for next months mag.
I thought I had read that all the car mags had already driven the car but there was an embargo on publishing stories until next week.
Posts on seloc stating “News from Lotus is that demonstrators will go to dealers in August, customer cars start delivery in September.”
Yeah, i noticed the SELOC post too.

Did you order a V6 or are you waiting for the new Esprit?
