You can thank the badge snobs for that.
Yeah i know....I have always had this thought that Lotus should have got the design and used it for the Elan, now that would have been something

The Calibra is a much better car then the money suggests though.

The thing that irritates me about my car is that it's not on the road. 

Phill.

The things that niggle me about mine is the multi colour shades of red it has due to being touched up by the last owner using completely the wrong paint and the fact that on standard suspension it handles like a barge

That's when it seems to regard hovering next to the red zone as normal and you have to put the heater on full on a warm day to help the radiator fan cool the engine down.
I suspect that the radiator is not really big enough.
