Guys,
I got this post from the Yahoo lotus list?? What gives? Surely this can't be for real. I emailed some blokes in the UK, no confirm yet.

I just read something wierd. Seems that Lotus is selling the
tooling for the Esprit to Kia. According to the press release on the
gglc site -
www.gglotus.org Kia will be building the Esprit with Kia
power. Didn't Lotus do this with the M100 Elan? I can't believe it's
happening again!
This is certain to ruin any resale value of a "real" Esprit when
there's hundreds of Kia clones running around.
Anybody know anything about this? Mike Causer can you help explain?

Kiyoshi and GGLC are usually pretty well up on things, surely they wouldn't do this again, jeez, let the car go out with some dignity, it had a long run but to sell the car/idea to KIA??????????? Ouch.
