Just looking at the sunday papers and there's a piece on the front of one business section that reports Dany Bahar (Lotus chief executive) is trying to find a backer with pockets that are have a depth of £500m. It's also reported that Proton has a new majority shareholdee - DRB-Hicom.

Lotus Cars made a pre-tax loss of £21.4m last year. Genii already owns the Lotus Formula one team and has nearly completed due dilligence on the Lotus Cars.

Who could have seen this coming, huh?

old news...

the question really is where GenII could find £500M+ to invest in Lotus after finding the cash to buy them in the first place....

(remember where they got the money to buy Renault F1 from)
