I didnt even know Lotus made SUVs and Sedans known wtf. Are they good?

>>28680354 (OP)
I do not know why i added the known here

>>28680354 (OP)
I also recently discovered this. It disgusting. But then i remembered watching someone say that they need to sell main stream cars to avoid going out o business. But who is buying a pig fat lotus?

>>28680354 (OP)
Rebadged Zeekrs. Just the usual chink trojan-horse trick to break into Western markets. Not playing out well though.

>>28680354 (OP)
They are British

>>28680354 (OP)
believe it or not, but there isn't much money in mid-range sports cars, even if they are top-tier.
Lotus has been on the brink of bankruptcy for decades. Not surprising they are having to try now.
Sheeeeittt even ferralel make an SUV now

>>28680377
that is sexo

>>28680354 (OP)
This is 2025, Porsche and Lamborghini are primarily SUV brands now.

Its a geely but these 2 have been received positively even if they are not best of class

>>28680354 (OP)
Every company trying to survive is making SUVs and crossovers now. This is the future you chose.

>>28680354 (OP)
Looks like a lambo urus which is gay but is the sedan a fucking coupe version of a urus? Based if yes

no, it's rebadged geely chinese market cars
basically all chinese market cars are just tesla clones with a huge screen, no buttons, and poor quality plastics

>>28680354 (OP)
literally every company is making SUVs to survive now how is this surprising to you

>>28680354 (OP)
Why buy that when you can get a Buick Envista that looks exactly the same

>>28680354 (OP)
I don't know why its so surprising when people figure out these are Chinese rebadges like did you LOOK at them?

>>28680354 (OP)
Both a Lamtruck and a Lambcar? ZAMN!

>>28680371
Have you been living under a rock? Lotus has been bought out by some chink company several years ago. They're not on the brink of bankruptcy, they went bankrupt.

>>28680354 (OP)
Lotus is gonna, those are chinkshit evs.

>>28681446
The problem is the car magazines pretend like these are real brands (like they do with skoda and seat) instead of just shaming manufacturers for producing badge engineered shit.

>torsian beam rear suspension in 2025

>>28681433
Why buy either of them?

>>28681695
>skoda and seat
At least those are mostly from the continent you'd expect them to be from. Skoda's even done something semi-original with VW parts on occasion, though nowadays they're basically just VWs with different styling.
These Euro brands cashing out and becoming badges on Chinese cars is just sad.

>>28680354 (OP)
Lotus is dead, they were bought by a Chinese company and now what Lotus used to be is completely gone. The Evira is the last true Lotus that will ever be made, these other vehicles are just rebadged electric shitheaps from China. Once the Evira is eventually discontinued, all Lotus will sell is chinese EV's.

>>28681937
But Lotus is not dead. Lotus has always been an engineering company that simply advertised their services by building the best-handling cars in the world. Yes, the ad campaign has been shrunk to "it's totally not an Evora with a bodykit, we swear", and they had to put their name on Chinese SUVs as a part of the deal, but it's not a gutted brand like MG, they are still there doing the engineering work. Just for the Chinese now.

>>28681967
Engineering means nothing if it's built using shitty chinese materials in chinese factories with no quality control standards.

Anyone who buys thing unironically need to lunch or castrated

>>28681967
Lotus is fucking DEAD, they just laid off like half their main factory.
