I agree with everything you said, minus this small detail. Epoxy bonding is a very good not to mention labor intensive way of joining aluminum. Airplane fuselages are for the most part held together by the epoxy, not the rivets.

As far as value goes Lotus is certainly lacking...the reason people don't like the 2GR in there is not because it's not a good engine, but because for the money, they expect at least some work done to it, which Lotus hasn't bothered to do. It shows in resale.
