Oh, that may be the confusion here. I assumed the article meant that the dealer special ordered a car that he created to sell at his dealership at a huge markup. Now I see what you're saying, it's sorta like the old muscle car dealers used to do with their limited editions. If that's the case we agree that it should…

Really? I rather think his Audemars Piguet looks good in rose gold.

That's genius! Lotus is the place for him right now, this could be the beginning of a history making change for both companies. Do it!
