A step further, they all ought to have sport suspension or better yet sport pack ought to be standard and adjustables should be sport pack... I mean why not? Again, the s111 not going to sell well to the folks that want a Cobalt type car, it sells to extremists, so make sure everyone has extreme handling.... The car isn't all that much rougher riding in LSS form vs Std but it handles a bunch better and does a lot better in the mags with it...

How the car does in the mags has a lot to do with how the car sells, so it's largely up to the marketing team to get this right to ensure strong sales and a solid reputation---

Epic Fail Marketing team!

Thank you. That's precisely what I was thinking.



This is free press for Lotus, and C&D didn't have ONE single good thing to say about the car. Epic fail, indeed.
