The new four-placer's moniker will start with an E, and it will be an all-new name. Naturally, Esprit has been reserved for the new range-topper, so that's out. Ethos has reportedly been registered by Lotus in the United States, though it's reportedly not the front runner among the three contenders rumored to be under consideration. Eagle, the name of a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/spy-shots-bird-watchers-spot-lotus-eagle-in-the-wild/">much-spied mule</a>, is probably going nowhere, lest Lotus pick a fight with Chrysler. If this one-legged name dance is any indication, we're going to go with <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/excruciate?r=14">Excruciate</a>. <br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/lotus-eagle-spy-shots">Lotus Eagle - spy shots</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/lotus-eagle-spy-shots/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/02/lotuseagle22.fec.kgp.ed_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/lotus-eagle-spy-shots/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/02/lotuseagle22.fce.kgp.ed_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/lotus-eagle-spy-shots/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/02/lotuseagle22.fep.kgp.ed_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/lotus-eagle-spy-shots/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/02/lotuseagle22.fe.kgp.ed_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/lotus-eagle-spy-shots/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/02/lotuseagle22.re2.kgp.ed_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle.aspx?AR=233777">Autocar</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/09/its-so-much-clearer-now-lotus-slightly-deobfuscates-2-2s-nam/">It's so much clearer now - Lotus slightly deobfuscates 2+2's name</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 09 Jul 2008 18:02:00 EST.
