2009 SEMA Show Coverage - LotusTalk

Administrator · 11-04-2009, 02:41 PM

Held each year in Las Vegas, Nevada, the SEMA Show is an industry event for the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association.

Tuners and parts suppliers from across the industry and even from the realm of motorsports come to show off their wares, usually displayed on some sort of eye-catching highly-modified vehicle - be it a muscle car, hot rod or sport compact car.

And let's not forget the increasing presence of mainstream manufacturers like Hyundai, Scion, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Chrysler and Dodge. Major areas of interest at SEMA include Racing and Performance, Wheels and Tires, as well as Trucks, SUVs and Off-Road vehicles.

I went, saw and came back... The show was spectacular. Well organized. Very professional. Tons of displays indoor and outdoor demos of off-road jumping. I even saw an Elise made of carbon fiber. The Chinese company (SEIBON) told me that it saved about 150 pounds (only?) I have no idea how they made the body parts. Did they pull a mold from a dismantled Elise?
The best part was my visit to Norm Baker, the Vegas Lotus dealer. They so got me hooked that I'll probably end up with one of their 'Pre-0wned' Elise or SC.

Hi Mr. Administrator.
Wouldn't be interesting to start a post to find out the age of each Lotus owners. I'm 62. I saw a lot of young raper-type kids at the Lotus dealer who already owned an Elise and were looking at upgrading to the Exige...
Am I the oldest? Just curious....
