Just popped down the Lotus garage in Long Stratton to get a new battery for my Elise fob. Sat there waiting staring at a beautiful Exige, ardent red. Had a chat with the salesman (nice guy) who advised me to sell my Elise 111R next year and buy an Exige S. I am very tempted. He said no point buying an Exige as same power as what I have. Should I sell my Elise next year and get an Exige S? Very tempting....

Guy's a smashing fellow and a man who I've done business with, The Exige s would be the next step for you as their not going to make a standard exige as from the end of this year (N/A) The S has more power and their's always going to be further upgrades until the Eagle is released

Isn't it enough that I'm starting to scour the ads looking for an Exige, thinking nirvana will be mine, when you casually throw that into the mix....!

Whats the Eagle, is it the new Exige S350 (or something like that). If so, it look great, but will be out of my price range.
Guy is a top bloke, so I know he isn't feeding me any dodgy line about my car. I've only had my Elise for 6 months, do people think I should sell it next year? Was planning on keeping it for about 3 years but maybe Guy is right?

The Eagle is not an Elise/Exige, it's their new 2+2 car.

I haven't seen it though. Has Boggy?????
