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.

Dodge EV, You mean the Lotus Europa with an electric motor, and Dodge emblems?
