Not really impressed with Lotus’s direction. I understand what they are trying to do but they are moving away from the traditional Lotus ethos. And the fact that they are now a Chinese company means that we should all be boycotting them anyway.
Evil empire bent on world domination at all cost and must be countered at every opportunity. That means taking every opportunity to avoid buying their products. So no Lotuses or Volvos for me. Sometimes it’s hard to avoid buying Chinese...
I’m a traditionalist so naturally I would prefer Lotus to make lightweight petrol sports cars forever, but if making sports cars for a wider audience is the only way they can survive then so it be. I just don’t want them to turn into MG, just making electric SUVs
That’s exactly the way I feel, I just hope that their models are as diverse as the rumours suggest otherwise we risk losing another iconic brand to the SUV market. Fingers crossed we’ll see plenty more sports cars yet 🤞

What's wrong with China?

That’s where they are headed. Sports cars really don’t work in the EV world. Luxury vehicles do.
beautiful cars, if I had the money, I'd buy one.
The Emira is a fantastic value for money though. Would rather have that rather than a Porsche
I like the red esprit the europa and the old exige cup
I wish they made a supercar that competed with the hurucan before they went electric ðŸ˜
That would have been so good! ðŸ˜
Plus I think making an SUV is a bad idea...they should make a hatchback or a sedan instead
Remember the Lotus Carlton and the lotus sunbeam?
