I guess it was always going to happen, the new owners have a very different way of operating than the previous owner - the Malaysian government.

The new lot have this crazy idea that businesses should make a profit.  :D

No tears from me for Bahar. I just hope that Lotus can survive, and that they maintain their presence in motorsport.

i do disagree with Jalopnik on one point - Mulally's idea of totally abandoning markets that Ford has dominated for generations will seriously damage the company in very short order.
