Lotus has announced that they will not be attending the Paris Auto Salon this year, after making a huge splash two years ago with not one, but five concepts. Now, with top-level shakeups, the company is re-thinking its global strategy.

They came out with that amazing spread of upcoming models in 2010...I dont recall which show but i saw them in LA. however, here we are some two years later and the only vehicles they offer are the same evora and elise/exige as they had back then. I think that the Exige is awesome but I think that their already small target audience may be waiting for vehicles like the espirt and the next elise. That, and their CEO problems are putting a real hurt to the brand.

They're having problems with rumors of the parent company being sold out. Plus, there's a lot of complaint about the Evora being a cow designed for our market. It's a big car for a Lotus and not everyone is happy. I think it would be great to have Exiges and Elises again.
