After Symphony and Jazz, I can't help but wonder what the next product will be called. Lotus Heavy Metal, perhaps? Why no one at Lotus ever thought of calling the new product "4-5-6" is beyond me.

Probably the first recorded incident >of vaporware :-) True he didn't get into the promised land, but he did get to see it.
