are the figures for the two models accurate?

There seems to be a huge gulf between them - with the LS being somewhat too slow to be acceptable in the modern world (20s 0-60 is similar to the borderline-dangerous, ancient VW polo I used to own - and I'd be disappointed paying that much money for that kind of performance, even if it WAS super efficient... plus, though such figures would be just about acceptable if you used it as a solo-occupant city car, it wouldn't even have the same flexibility and minimal load-hauling ability as the Polo's diminutive 33kW petrol motor. By the time you'd picked up 3 friends with a bag each, reaching 60 at all would require favourable conditions never mind getting there quickly or sustaining it uphill; whereas I was still able to get over 75mph with the suspension down on the stops)... and the GT having disappointing economy for a next-generation eco car (not much better than the now nearly 10 year old Lupo 3L, which developed just as much if not more power, in a heavier and boxier frame) going with it's massively improved performance and not often usable top speed (at which i doubt it would be too efficient any more). It strikes me as odd there's no middle ground between them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.46.180.56 (talk) 19:44, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The data on a platform like this must be lagging behind. For accurate information refer to the company web site and for discussions use the forum that can be found there. There is an English section.

As for the LS being slow, consider if it still would be slow in future traffic which will surely slow down as fuel prices go up.

If anything, the company does reply to e-mail inquiries swiftly and individually, but cannot read each and every forum on the web. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.90.11.25 (talk) 08:17, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

updated page

Updated the available data based on the german article. Did not provide all the german quotes in this article since they are in german language. Neozoon 22:37, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Loremo project seems to be over

No Update on the company homepage / blog since 2009. In a german local newspaper see also [1] the head of Loremo Thomas Zollhoefer says that the concept did not work out, the solution with the lifting of the frontpart is not useful. He talks now about creating hybrid city lorries instead. So we will not see it driving on the street--Neozoon 22:42, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The homepage loremo.com has been disbanded in July 2010, the article will be revised. --Neozoon 15:20, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Website is back up and there's a new entry in the company blog so changed entry to reflect this. Also added mention in C&D about how project is definitely over. Changed article to reflect how this is old stuff.

Will revisit article if anything new comes up or in six months time. Not expecting anything though and Loremo is seriously starting to look like vaporware or maybe even an investment scam. -- 16:55, 28 November 2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.50.93.176 (talk)

There's talk of restructuring on the loremo.com website

It's mostly in German and what I would call corporate BS without anything concrete. Still, maybe they'll stage a comeback? The renders on the site (and the original concept) are pretty cool. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.50.89.61 (talk) 23:37, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
