"China’s Zhejiang Geely will take a majority stake in Lotus as part of a deal to invest in the British sports car maker’s parent company Proton, according to two people with knowledge of the deal."
Could we eventually see a Volvo engined Elise? Stranger things have happened...

The article says that one of the reasons that Geely wants Lotus, is so it can use to company's expertise to benefit it's other brands. So I wonder if we'll see a Volvo with handling by Lotus?
Volvo already tune their cars for British roads (see the latest Volvo reviews, which all praise the ride comfort), so this could be an extension of that. I am tentatively optimistic about this move, let's hope it's good for the boys and girls in Hethel.
Edited as my tablet turned Hethel into Bethel!
