lotus is nowhere near luxury
their car more empty than proton models
but extremely fun to drive

proton's target market has never been on luxury
want luxury, plenty of brand out there

i don't think geely can or will
u need to know what's the purpose of lotus car 1st and why their niche buyer buy them
and where they got their nickname purist from

recently mightycarmods got their 1st ever lotus
even they commented it's far from "luxury"...it's not practical, it noisy, it's cramp, it's not comfortable, it has no back seat, it has nothing inside but a radio and a/c
if trying to compare to normal car, even a proton saga is much better in all that aspect...but a saga doesn't and cannot perform as good as a lotus even if u plonked in a supercharged 1.8L engine

proton's target marker is low income...it's established for that purpose as well

if u want all the above...there is already a brand for it...big brother in geely family somemore
it's call volvo
it's luxurious, it perform like a lotus = it's fast, it accelerates fast, it handles well, it's quiet, it's spacious, it's 4 door, it's extremely safe, it has all the feature anybody wants

if u look at it that way
the geely family is pretty complete in every level/segment of automobile...from top till bottom
