    This is the interior of the Washington D.C. Lotus dealership. Washington D.C. is one of the wealthiest and largest cities in the US and this is the dealership's showroom in D.C. I did not take these pictures, they are from an F-Chat member. I'm just shocked it's this bad in a major world city.

    Can anyone confirm these pictures are an accurate depiction of the Lotus dealership in D.C.?

    Looks recently renovated. Temporary lighting, new roof/joists, sprinkler system. Work in progress?
    Nice space for parking.

    I was told this was recent. Even if undergoing a renovation, this is not normal for a major brand.

    Lotus isn't a major brand, it's like... fourth tier at best

    If we're talking UK marques, I would say ...

    1. Aston Martin
    2. Mclaren
    3. Jaguar (tie)
    3. Land Rover (tie)

    No, it's just that it's not the current Lotus DC dealership.

    Got it. The person that took the pictures told me it was and he's generally pretty reliable.

    There are two buildings at the dealership address; on this google map picture the showroom is on the right and the above pictures could be inside the building on the left.
