I hate to burst your bubble (not really), but your Lotus is really just a
badge engineered Geo Storm/Isuzu Impulse. There are a lot of other choices
out there for $38,000. Just think you could have spent $17000 and gotten the
AWD version of the Impulse (same power plant as your lotus, same interior
too.) and had $21,000 to buy a Miata and a really nice chrome bumper MGB.
I just think its kind of ironic to hear you spouting off about your wonderful
british car, when its really another Japanese econo-rocket. And an
overpriced one to boot.
