Stability at Lotus?

[Hedgerley]

Read in this weeks Autocar that Proton have upped their ownership to 96% (Artiolli obviously needs the cash) Contrary to previous rumours that they were going to ditch Lotus, I guess this confirms their commitment, which, with the recent engineering contracts and new jobs, seems to indicate that Lotus is entering a period of stability.

Autocar also previewed the new turbo Vauxhall VX220 which Lotus are currently shaking down in the lanes around Hethel. This will leave the Elise trailing - I wonder what Lotus have up their sleeve?
