esna got tie in wif lotus meh? i tot esna is a private venture n not under proton..
anyway lotus do make engines, or at least tuned K series one time ago (juz bfor they start using toyota engines in the elise)..
for the design, mebbe it's juz a coincidence.. even the waja got criticised for looking like some continental.. i juz think the msian designers are not creative enuff juz yet to create a new look.. anyways, it is still a nice effort..
and for the price a person could get a ferrari or porsche or other makes.. but to an enthusiast wif too much money to burn, i think it's worth the money.. it's rare.. it does have a value.. porsches n ferraris are relatively common ler.. unless its an Enzo or a GT lah.. :lol:
pick up chicks? hehe.. dun need a car to pick up chicks ler..
as for the servicing n repair costs.. ppl wif this much money don't really worry lah.. money talks..
juz my 2 cents :)
