British automaker Lotus has no new models slated for the U.S. market for the next few years, a spokesman said yesterday. The next U.S. model “is a ways off,” the spokesman told Edmunds. “We have nothing new coming for the foreseeable future,” he added. The recently-unveiled Lotus Europa S, Lotus Exige S, and Lotus Elise S will not come to the United States due to emissions regulations, the automaker recently said. Currently, the only Lotus models sold in the United States are the Elise R and the standard Exige. Recently, Lotus announced plans to build a new mid-engine sports car in 2008 to replace the discontinued Esprit. It’s not clear if that model will come to North America.
