I had totally forgotten but I guess technically this was my first "Lotus" involved car:

1987 Isuzu Impulse RS Turbo

It was the first year of the Impulse with the Lotus-tuned suspension, but the year before they started putting the "Handling by Lotus" badges on it. Giugiaro designed original model. 1987 RS's only came in white with white wheels. It was a fantastic car for its time and was practical too. 1988 got the badges (we don't need no stinkin...) but they also got the annoying automatic seatbelts too. Sad to see that Isuzu has pulled out the US passenger vehicle market. They had some fun cars in the 80/90's.
