boonhat_91 6th Gear July 22, 2019 Share July 22, 2019 Unfortunately unlikely, maybe unless they come out with a SUV/crossover model Lotus has not been popular in Singapore for a long time....

Toeknee_33 Turbocharged July 22, 2019 Share July 22, 2019 Lotus has not been popular in Singapore for a long time.... Will it make any difference by appointing Wearnes? https://www.tnp.sg/news/business/lotus-appoints-wearnes-its-singapore-dealer Lotus is poised on a rapid expansion plan funded by the might of Geely resources. The brand will have access to plenty of technology and manufacturing know-how from the group which includes Volvo. A Lotus SUV is undergoing trials now and may appear in the next couple of years. Then there is the Evija electric hypercar with 2000bhp... I also believe there is enthusiasts support for this revered brand who will continue to buy Lotus in SG, as long as there are new models and sufficient back up. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerNg_185295 6th Gear July 22, 2019 Share July 22, 2019 Wearnes do have the experience of marketing and selling sporty luxury brands. So i think Lotus is in good hands under this agent.

Yes I can understand. The Elise is almost Cayman money and Evora is in 911 territory. It takes a serious purist to look past the kit-car interior.

However both cars are not commonly seen on our road.. not sure how much evora will cost. i think both are very niche. won't move in big numbers, guess the AD won't matter much for that segment, maybe most will choose cayman or bmw 2er and maybe supra?

boonhat_91 6th Gear July 22, 2019 Share July 22, 2019 (edited) Alpine/Wearnes has set up an official Instagram page (alpinecentresingapore) which often shows up on my Explore feed. They post quite regularly, however, 75 posts now and they still haven't bothered to post a pic or vid of the local unit... Somehow, I saw a lot of comparison online between A110 and Evora GT410....

Beehive3783 Turbocharged July 24, 2019 Share July 24, 2019 Lotus have never placed much emphasis on the interior. Mostly the handling and driving experience. Wow... this car looks cool. Few years back was contemplating to get a lotus for it light-weight chassis unfortunately was turned off by the interior. Really looking forward that they come out with something more attractive. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
