Lotus Hints That Geely Will Play An Active Part In Tackling Porsche SUVs

Talk of a potential Lotus SUV is nothing new, as in 2018, former Lotus chief executive Jean-Marc Gales confirmed such a vehicle was on the way.

With Geely now taking a controlling stake in Lotus and investing heavily in the brand, the company has a new CEO: former Jaguar Land Rover executive Phil Popham. Under new ownership and leadership, Lotus has confirmed it will unveil an all-new sports car towards the end of 2020.

So basically Lotus is going to re-fender a Volvo and call it good?

@MD- Hard to say. Everyone thought Aston would reskin a Mercedes SUV and they built there own platform. Who knows what they will do. My guess is a Macan competitor first. I would still like to see them make a new Esprit.

You believe that the Aston platform is bespoke? Well, bless your heart. Aston doesn't have the engineering prowess to do a crossover.
