The above quote from Mike would render these statements untrue (should there be any in the first place). If anybody would go to Lotus cars website, there is no mention of a Malaysian site . There is however, a Singapore one. I would say that Proton tend to be very lenient in handling these issues of Nationalistic pride. The English one I mean. Either you love or hate Mike

If my memory serves me right (or a Google of Paul's April 26 2006 report) we had the same rumours a few years back about Lotus doing low end sports car in Malaysia. Eventually it turned out to be a Service Centre catering for the Rover engines. Malaysia also does not appear in Lotus website. Mike's quoted statement will render this report unfounded.
