Think Proton has lost it a bit with this round. The cars are all way, WAY too heavy. 2400# for an Elise? Crack smoking, that is...
It's obvious that Proton wants to play big and do it with the big boys, but they're dumping a core Lotus concept. I always liked the relative purity of Lotus but now it looks like they're going to pump it dry of all goodness and run it into the ground. They were different by being light, now they're just on the way to being another wannabe supercar builder.
