Yes, that Lotus. I am speechless by the brand bastardization of this vehicle. What is essentially a trim package, it wears the "Handling by Lotus" badge. It is powered by a 3.1L turbo diesel, with 114 hp. It reaches 60 in a blistering 16 seconds. Just look at it.
And for those interested, here is one on Goo-Net for sale. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Simplify and add lightness.
I've seen one IRL BTW, it made me initially quite confused

It isn't light though. It is the most confusing vehicle I've ever heard of.

This badge marketing is so bad, it gave me ebola.

Subaru sold a version overseas, too.

A long time ago I saw ... an Impulse? with this treatment. Wonder if they really stripped out weight, or just added weight with the badges.

The Impulse was actually tuned by Lotus, that actually wasn't that obscure. This on the other hand...

WOW. Why would they do something so cancerous?

Maybe we're misreading it - guy behind the wheel is Lotus Miyazaki, and he's assuring us that he's handling his shit.

My first vehicle was a '91 Trooper and I could get it on two wheels if I whipped a corner hard enough. If only it had that Lotus tuning...

I went to school with a guy that rolled his at 35. It sure would have helped him.

What did they even change?

As far as I know, the badge. Maybe different shocks...
