Aside from all the sure-to-come Cheech & Chong pot smokin' jokes, the new Lotus Eco Elise raises the art of eco-engineering to a new level. The company has gone out of their way to make sure that the entire manufacturing and driving process of the Eco Elise be as fuel efficient and environmentally friendly as possible. The new Lotus uses body panels built from a hemp resin, and it uses an eco wool and sisal in the interior. Paint is water-based and all materials are sourced locally to reduce the Eco Elise's total carbon miles in production.

That would explain the Ford Flex...
