   I’m sorry about how this article is displayed, the file was 8.4 mg and there was no link to the website. I received it from an email. See pics.

Last paragraph, a model name not beginning with”E”?

Wouldn’t that be a first since the 7? I think they should reconsider.

I’ve often wondered, is there a specific reason for names beginning with ‘E’? Or is just a matter of setting into a groove until it became traditional?

I think they should stick with E names.  The SUV could be the Lotus Excess, or perhaps the Lotus Elephant.

I think Chapman got up to the Type Eleven, liked the name and started naming them all with "E". I could be mistaken :)

    That would be a great name, Elephant. For which the direction of geely would go!

I hope that changes. I think we’ve had enough from Wuhan.

Maybe we should make the distinction between British designed and built Loti and Chinese Loti…

The 7 came after the Eleven, so I don't think that's where it started.  From what I recall it was the Elite that started Chapman on the "E" names.

Maybe they can call it the Emballonuridae...

I'm sure they are agile little critters.
