The car is supposed to be here in U.S. Spring of 2004. People have tried to import the car here but can't. The car won't meet crash specs and emissions I would imagine.

The car weighs less than 2000lbs. Excellent power to weight ratio.

The Lotus site tells you about the intro to the U.S. in 2004.

the plymouth prowler has covered wheels, they have a top cover, which makes them legal.....and they are extremely ugly.....lotus elise has been in the US for awhile now, just under the name of the exige and elige... they have one in costa mesa right now, just withought the type R motor, and it was not imported.
