I just hope that this doesn't end up being another one of those M250 deals where ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENED
The first pic of this thread is the actual Lotus Esprit replacement but, Lotus went to great length to mask its disguised.

I don't know if anyone else can confirm this, but I've been told by a dealership employee that they were shown official Lotus sketches of the Esprit, unveiling due late 2007. Anyone else?
