Lotus Goes Batshitcrazy
 
Interweb speculates negatively about Lotus... Lotus loses the plot and gets one of the employee's 16 yr old daughters to post a reply and puts it on their corporate site :bellyroll:

Interweb takes the candy from the baby and replies with the following:

Ah Lotus what will you think of next :bonk:

First and last time I go on sniffpetrol... kind of childish if you ask me.
Don't see what's wrong with a company addressing rumors.
damned if you do damned if you don't.

Oh sure, but could you imagine Porsche putting such a repost on their main page to some internet rumours about poor sales or a possible boardroom shake-up?

Not the way a bluechip company would handle things.

ftwrath i think maybe you missed the fact that the entire article was a grab from lotus's front page and the satire was not from sniffpetrol at all
