Chrysler-Lotus Group Design Deal

Today's WSJ article on Chrysler. It mentions Group Lotus as one of the outside design partners.

"...Chrysler plans to launch 24 new or redesigned vehicles in the next 48 months. Most will come not from its own development labs but from Italy's Fiat SpA, Japan's Nissan Motor Co. and Britain's Group Lotus PLC..."

Chrysler Leans on Foreign Designers - WSJ.com

Maybe they are talking about the previous revealed Dodge EV (an electric car based on Elise).. or new Lotus-designed Chrysler/Dodge models..?

Anyway, it's good to see Lotus making some $$$. I believe in 2008, Group Lotus did make a modest profit (very rare for Lotus), and hopefully with these deals, the company can continue to do better.
