I doubt the brand will survive much longer - they need someone to take them over.

Havent gone looking for stats, but is it at least the lightest EV SUV available in its class? lol.
All EV's are heavy as heck, im personally not bothered by it as thats just the nature of the beast, but hopefully they found a way to make it lighter than competitors.

Also, Geely bough Lotus years ago. Takeover complete.

They probably should have went with 20" wheels over the 22-inch they mentioned

Hard pass. I don't like this at all, it's too much like some generic Chinese product. The platform sharing is quite evident to me too:

Another Chinese EV that wants to play the game of Look I'm a Euro contender. This together with Polestar is a all out chinese product. They just attach few white people to act like supremes so you can feel secure about the purchase. My friend is also posing as CEO of some indian company that does solar energy so they can decieve Indian customers that company has some ties to Europe's technology and design.Prettu much the same principle is being applied here.

Didn't see this thread till just now. That's a beautiful yellow and black paint job. Also appears to be a (rare) Lotus product that a normal adult does not have to squeeze in and out of like a canned sardine.
