Maybe I missed something…..

Besides……do YOU plan on buying a Lotus……can u afford one???

$27,500 is a lot less than $80,000-$100,000

$27k from base price of 35k-7.5k tax credit.

Then again…..maybe my Berkeley education has failed me and you are right….making expensive roadsters that u and I will never buy that just started being researched last month is way better than something that has been researched for 2 years and costs the same as a car you and I coulda afford……

silly me…..

How can that be?

There is no Chevy Volt – it’s vaporware.

I was excited to read of Chrysler’s hybrid plans, thinking they were really going to show up GM … until I realized that they are closer to bankruptcy than GM and need vaporware even more.

Too bad.

I guess Lotus figured if all these folks were doing this with their bodies, they might as well do it themselves.
