The 04 will indeed have the 1.8L 190hp Celica motor (and gearbox).

 Also on the "added for US consumption" list is a ABS system from
you-can-guess-where.

Unfortunately, like the MkI, I don't fit in these either :-(

Cheers,
Keith

Just stopped at Midwestern Auto Group during lunch today to pick up some
assorted tiny bits for Friday's drive shaft laying-on-of-hands, and
there amongst the Aston-Martins sits a shiny new metallic blue Lotus
Elise.  A track car, I was informed.  One of two in the states (the
other is a silver one currently in L.A.) drumming up interest for the
impending Spring 2004 release of US models.  The one I saw had a Rover
engine and 5-speed, but future models will have a 190 hp toy-Yoda Celica
mill and 6-speed.  A real pig at 1880 lbs, once the airbags and radio
are added.  Mid 4 sec 0-60.
