Would this not be a really good solution to both companies problems.

.Shared dealerships
.Play on the Britishness of the brands
.Increased sales through Aston buyer purchasing the second fun car as a lotus
.Lotus get access to more upmarket parts for their less hardcore models
.Aston martin get access to new chassis development that they currently don't have
.Aston no longer have to worry about average emmisions across the range

Any thoughts? This was just a im bored on the way into work chain of ideas so don't read into it too much but would it be feasable?
