someone at a desk somewhere in Lorus HQ is shitting their pants after putting the decimal point in the wrong place in the projections, praying for Danny Bahar to come back and deflect the heat off them...

No it all makes perfect sense. In 5 years I’ve built 10 cars but I’m hoping I can up that to 2000 this year.

'The bulk of production at the new site would be taken up by Geely models, however."

So it's a Geely Auto factory which has a capacity of 150,000 vehicles, and they will also make a few Lotus SUVs there.

TBF thats not a bad place to start. Cash cow ect.

They did this with LTI however and they build quality went to shit. Althought their most recent effort on the Leccy Taxi looks pretty decent.
