"Lotus has been struggling recently keeping prices down due largely to the falling dollar. The base-spec Elise was said to be losing money on its US introduction last year but Lotus banked on option packages to make it profitable. There have been two price increases totalling $3,000 in the nine months since the first delivery. For the first time yesterday, Lotus officials admitted that they are looking at cost cutting options for the Elise in order to hold the current price point. Rumoured too are the removal of one of the oil coolers, and revised package content and pricing."
