When there is no real news, there are lots of rumours and this is just another of them I think.

A cooperation between Lotus Engineering and Aston Martin seems like business as usual and may be the "fact" behind this story. They surely have other partnerships also (Nissan on the 414e/emerge to name just one). Extrapolation this to a merger of Lotus Cars and Aston seems a bit far fetched.

On the other hand, the you could call the merged company "Bond Automotive"

Next week I will be visiting Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd at their headquarters in Gaydon. Tempted to go in the Lotus but it currently isn't insured for business use

You may end up in a gravel car park and have to take a bus to the right building. But do it anyway!
