The countdown begins: Clive Chapman, son of Lotus founder, reflects on his father's interest in practical cars' design and engineering.

LOL... gotta love marketing. Change the story as it suits you and the new vision. Nothing wrong with it, but to imply that Chapman was into practical cars like SUV's/Crossovers is a joke.

To me, an SUV is a practical vehicle purchase, especially an electric one. I would likely look towards one of the major brands for such a car. No doubt lotus will not have difficulty selling this SUV since it is a unique brand and styling.

I concur.
It's now a race to the bank with a bread and butter offering far from a niche specialty car.
