Style vs ?

First of all I want to say that I am a fan of Lotus cars. They may not have had the most in styling but Lotus always made of for their lack of style in engineering. Colin always said to add lightness. Their have been a couple of Lotus cars that did exude style, the original Lotus Elite and the Elan for two, not too many more. A Lotus was almost always about handling. The Lotus Exige is a good example of adding lightness and engineering handling into the total package. I will admit that it is also "styled." The styling though in my poor humble opinion lacks a certain panache. In fact it looks downright Japanese cartoonish.
