Are Morgan, Lotus and GWM selling cars in Ireland?

Hi,

Just looking at the SIMI stats for new cars. Have Morgan, Lotus and GWM withdrawn from the Irish market do you know? Subaru sales have been very poor the last few years as well, only reaching single digits this year.

Thank you

Hi Mark,

Morgan is distributed by Edgewood Automotive in Co. Cork, though obviously it's a niche brand.

Lotus cars are no longer on sale in the Republic for some reason, so you'd have to go to Belfast to get one.

GWM Ora still has a few dealers, but only one model to sell and no change on that for quite some time now.

Subaru dealers are awaiting news on a raft of new models that should be more competitive.
