If you read my original post, its not the power train I am worried about. Its the stuff made by Lotus that worries the hell out of me. Are we forgetting this is a British car company?

You guys have any idea how many instrument clusters have been replaced? Do you know how many have had to deal with switch pack problems?

Some of you guys should spend a little time over here and see the nightmares some of these people are dealing with. Electrical - LotusTalk - The Lotus Cars Community

And Lotusmotion, I don't care how well you think you know your own car, you are not able to fix the electrical issues common to these cars.
