Surprising. The plan as I gathered it is that this would be announced, but thats it. No publicity as it's from the 'old' Lotus not the new Lotus Lifestyle range of cars. If you wanted one you'd have to ask specifically for one as they wouldn't try to sell you one.
As it is, it seems that Lotus don't want to sell any cars as they are all of the 'old' Lotus.
As for the Exige, not the prettiest... but it never has been. Seen the development hack running around for months. Sounds lovely with the V6.
