Lotus CEO Outlines Future Roadmap And Quells Rumors

New Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales wants hotter derivatives of existing cars plus an SUV by 2017, and we’re first to meet him face to face 
 
Jean-Marc Gales is the man tasked with cleaning up the mess at Lotus left behind after Dany Bahar’s failed plan to launch five new models and acrimonious departure in 2012. As we discovered, there is a firm derivative-based plan in place for the next two to three years and more ambitious products  - such as an lightweight SUV and saloon – in the pipeline for 2017 and beyond.

Lotus has no relevant cars is the problem. They are toys for the track and nothing more. Lotus needs a product that begins at $30K and is a street car first rather than a track bauble that is painful to use as a daily driver.
