World's saddest Kia Story--The Lotus we don't get!

www.virtualroadtest.com/kiaelan1.htm read the full story. Basically, the gorgeous Lotus Elan was sold completely to KIA, dies, patterns everything. KIA could be making a 150 HP Lotus and selling it for under 20,000 dollars. It is gorgeous and would seriously compete with the Miata. But they are going TOO slow and it needs to hit soon if it is going to have an impact on the market. Read it. It is almost enough to make you weep.

Like they're not "doing great right now?"

Well the 90's model Lotus Elan is probably the worst Lotus ever built- but it's not a bad looker and the Kia Elan does have potential I guess- but I'd still rather have a second hand Elise
