bigpoppanils Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 around 1998 Kia was showing off its Elan....basically the Lotus Elan with a Lotus-tuned kia engine good for 140hp (Lotus sold the rights to Kia in 1997)was sold in europe and korea, but never quite made it over hereplans were made to sell it here for $20k....but the merger with hyundai killed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brwneydtrouble Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Damn shame. I might have gotten that instead of the S2K for that price......And might still have it today!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cintron Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 if I remember correctly, the Lotus Elan was a FWD platform.You're better off getting a late model Mercury Capri and painting it yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
