Lotus Europa turns out to be not Lotus Europa

[Tomo Motorsport]

it seems that previous spy shots of the Lotus Europa were those of the Proton version of the Elise for the Malaysian market. Story supplied byPistonHeads.com

hmm .. thats odd.. beeing that the europa is identicak to the one spyed for a long time prior to the europa beeing shown..

and that artical was dated befor the europa was shown..

hey, those spy shots look like the pics of the 'proton ultimate' circulating on the internet locally.... so is it a proton or a lotus? this is getting confusing.. http://paultan.org/archives/2005/06/12/proton-ultimate-updates/

 

[Kebab gud]

that is the europa ..
but it might also be rebadged as a proton ..
(do they sell lotus down there?)

 

[dodgey]

It probably will be a Proton in Malaysia and a Lotus elsewhere?? After all Proton owns Lotus anyway...

 

[Kebab gud]

probably proton in strategic areas.. where proton nees to get there sales figuers up
