At the moment, I'd go for an S2 Exige S. I'm planning on keeping the current 111R until about May 2008 (when current warranty runs out!) and would love a black Exige S if I can afford it at the time.

I don't know anything about the S3 though, so I would maybe go for that if it looks good and has same or better spec than S2 Exige. Is there any info on it yet?

S2 exige for me, though it could be a couple of years.

The short answer is no, but that doesn't mean it is not on the way. Lotus are past masters at keeping new models under wraps. The S2 Elise was launched way back in late 2000 (taking just about everyone by surprise, dealers and the press included), so I reckon we will see at least at least a heavily facelifted Elise/Exige late this year or early next year. The S2 has now been in production far longer than the S1 - a new model has to be on the cards.

S1 111s to errrm complement the other car. And then maybe save up and put a Honda engine in the first one that fails.

100% 340R. Plan would be to do what Rossybee did - give the wife a capable barge, buy a garage, and laugh my tits off!

I voted for a s1 exige honda on the list but when it comes time to replace the vx it will be a caterham for me
