    Today's Financial Times | Carmaker Lotus plans to end production in the UK

    I just spent a day Norwich - would be absolutely devastating if true considering the economic impact of lotus on the city. However considering how much capital Lotus has sunk into the modernizing and upgrading the facility at Hethel I don’t buy it. Why would they now spend substantial money...

    New Colours added to the UK Configurator

    I was just at the factory doing the tour and I saw panels sprayed in Orange (but not a fully assembled car). It looked incredible!!

    Anyone with HRE's?

    Important to note that HRE has had to revise their misleading “made in USA” marketing language over the past few years. The actual forgings and forging process (whether it be the entire wheels, faces, or barrels) are all done by a supplier in Taiwan - all HRE does in the US is mill the blanks...

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    Are they even legally allowed to keep your deposit if they cannot deliver you a car?

    10,000th Emira rolls off the line

    Even if they do it would only be the i4 DCT as the V6 is dead, right? Gotta wonder how strong sales would even be at that point….
