Bahar was Lotus's last shot at becoming a real car company again. I didn't want to say what I was really thinking regarding their current offerings that Easy mentioned out of respect for the few owners here. But Reginos touched on it. Talk about a niche market. I remember the first time I examined one up close, no thanks.

There is a reason why they had Sharon Stone introduce the new Espirit at the LA auto show. Her movie was the last time they were thought of as an upscale car company by the general public. The vision brought forth under Bahar's time as CEO whether it was his doing or not was their last chance. A little discipline instilled into Bahar's travel habits and some balls to carry on the revamping and they might have become what he talked about.

 I agree with you entirely - my early posts said the same thing.  Go big or go home...
