I was told that you can only fold the middle sit in a 5-seat Eletre so as to fit a ski board. This is due to both rear seats being power adjusted, which I think is a disappointment.
The design and feel of the Eletre's bucket seats are superb though. I do think they look much better than those...
I think it's 90% the hethel yellow car shown on the now halted Chengdu Auto Show.
No point importing a real V6 car just to be put on display on a car show for a few days.
*Note how much Hethel Yellow shifts under different lights, such a captive color.
I think that aforementioned senior people at Lotus probably meant that some SHOW cars floating around in China were built there instead of at Hethel. *The yellow one and the green one, that seem to show up from no where and only seen touring within China.
As lynchy73 said, It'll be brand...
