In 1996 Proton acquired majority stake in financially troubled British sports car maker Lotus.. Few of Proton cars utilized Lotus engineering & suspensions such as the Gen-2 that was also introduced in Pakistan during the Gen Musharraf era. Now Geely owns Lotus since 2017 when it acquired majority stake in Proton.

Lotus? The name rings a bell, wasn’t a car of that name featured in the need for speed gaming series?
Besides, I fully agree with you about it being technologically old, however, if priced sanely, I guess it can draw customers away from Honda or Toyota. At-least, those who are not concerned with brand as I am and just want new rather than a used car out of desperation.

The first gen LMST Saga was introduced in Pakistan back in 2006.

Recently the 3rd gen Saga has been very much glamourized and much hype created for the average Pakistani citizen.

However despite the facelifts and slight upgrades to body shape, technological upgrades to the engine from Lotus, it is still coming with obsolete technologies such as hydraulic power steering, tiny wheels, rear drum brakes and no LED projector headlights.
