One should remind that Lotus is still under control by the malaysian company Proton.
Since Proton purchased Lotus, we've seen good and bad things : the bad is (IMHO, of course) the Europa, the good ones are all the new Elise/Exige versions (supercharged !!!)
I think the whole thing is a bit scary in terms of design, because the only creation, the Europa, is (IMHO again) terrible, while the Elise & Exige are sexy as hell.
Another example is Aston Martin : since Ford sold to Prodrive founder (and others), all the new / soon-to-be models are really interesting : Vantage N400, Vantage RS V12, DBS & DBS Volante.
I'm looking forward to see more new models from Lotus. And the same goes for Jaguar & Land Rover. And of course for Aston.
