| Message: | | while there are no bumpers as such, there IS a front composite crush structure that is actually patented by lotus. likewise, the trunk area serves as a rear crush zone. so while the car might not look pretty after a crash and would be expensive to fix, the forces are NOT transmitted directly to the chassis. of course if a monster truck decides to run you over you're toast. or jam, rather...
bottom line, for maximum safety only drive the 'lis on the track where there are no suvs or semis. works for me.
