 Lotus Elise, Rumors
Lotus needs new engines before it can crack the US market; the K-series no longer meets emission laws across the pond.
Lotus has also hinted that the car's bodywork could be restyled by the end of next year in a bid to move the range upmarket and rival the likes of the Porsche Boxster and TVR Tamora.
Lotus reportedly is testing a mid engine chassis that could, with minimal effort, accommodate models of varying size and specification, including the next Elise, a V-8-powered Esprit successor, and a smaller coupe, similar to the stillborn M250, with a V-6 engine(possibly a 3.5 liter VQ-series six from Nissan)".

The Esprit shocked many at its launch - its geometric, laser-cut lines seemed far more futuristic than anything on the road - or on the movie screen, for that matter (the car prominently featured in the 1977 Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me; it also appeared in the 1990 movie Pretty Woman).

Okay so no MR2 content, but does the lotus Elan, now built as a KIA and rumored to be coming back to the US as a KIA, have the same mechanicals as the original Lotus, or are they using the Lotus bodywork on a piece of crap spec drivetrain???
In any >case, remember that Toyota and Lotus worked closely together in the >mid-1980's to the extent that the Lotus Excel (later model of the Eclat not >available in US) was Toyota-powered.
Well, you would expect the engine to be of Kia manufacture, but since the engine in the original Elan came from Isuzu and the tranny from Renault, it might not be that difficult to put in a different engine and gearbox.
