Presumably it will be closely related to other cars in the Geely group; Volvo, Polestar, Zeekr and Lynk&Co?Tracky wrote: ↑Mon May 15, 2023 11:14 am The big one is getting good reviews so suspect the small one will be even better
Probably be more reliable under Geely than the Porsches are - there seem to be quite a few glitches with the Taycan which is why I’m not bothering for now.
The lotus ‘Taycan’ looks really nice !
Having tracked Polestar group on FB for a year (I considered going to the dark side of an EV) it obvious they have loads of software issues; drivers appear to be almost proud of how many times their cars lock them in or out, need to have full reboots, fail to connect to apps, loose a their setting, need software updates, etc. I think all the OEMs are having big issues with software development and reliability.
As for a baby Lotus SUV, I'm thinking its a soon to be released Volvo XC30 with a different skin. Handling may be tweaked by the Lotus Engineers but that's probably the only link to Heathel. Wasn't there a Proton with 'Handling by Lotus'?
Not just Proton ( Lotus were owned by Proton at one point) Lotus Engineering worked on the fantastic '90's Vauxhall Astra, Hyundai Genesis and Isuzu something or other, DeLorean and quite a few others you wouldn't think of!EngineerMK wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 9:23 amPresumably it will be closely related to other cars in the Geely group; Volvo, Polestar, Zeekr and Lynk&Co?Tracky wrote: ↑Mon May 15, 2023 11:14 am The big one is getting good reviews so suspect the small one will be even better
