I was just reading in the October issue of Car and Driver (page 92) that the Lotus Elise will go on sale in the US in spring 2004 with "a version of the 1.8 liter Toyota four-banger found in the Celica GT-S." Would that be the 2zz found in the Vibe GT?

I'm usually repulsed by similar models, but surprisingly, this one has me intrigued...

From the little I have read about the Elise, it's suposed to be one of the best handling cars on the road. Very light car.

Lotus USA has a very cool website, especially for high bandwidth.

Could this mean more upgrades for the 2ZZers? I hope!
