A small boutique car manufacturer called Funke & Will AG opened its doors 10 years ago and produced its first vehicle, the Yes Roadster, in 1999. The firm sold 200 of the first generation of its scratch built two-seaters before redesigning the car two years ago. Now, Funke & Will AG is making a push to sell its second-generation Yes Roadster in the U.S. through YES North America, Inc. 

A new sports car called the Lotus Evora is expected to be introduced in U.S. in 2009, likely as a 2010 model. A larger car than the Elise, the Evora will be the first totally new Lotus in nearly 15 years.
