    lotus is owned by a malaysian company cant think of their name off the top of my head. They just worked out a deal with toyota to use that engine. (Its rumored they will use a bmw engine in the new esprit)

    On a side note I wish I could fit in an elise.

    As stated above, Lotus is owned by Proton. They worked out a deal with Toyota to supply engines and transmissions for the Elise and Exige. the engine is the Celica GTS engine, tuned to 190 hp and a bigger torque band by Lotus.

    New they are close to $50k. I was able to get a good deal on this car due to the fact that it was a new car, but a 2006 model. It had never been titled before and onle had 200 miles on it.
