Can someone please update me if the V6 Emira is on sale in the US or not.
I have been checking back and forth with the Lotus website for close to 3 years now with no solid answers.
My supposed dealer at Glenview, IL never replies emails or any request for information.
It almost seems like Lotus will do everything to make the wonderful Emira a bomb of a failure.
In the 3 years waiting for this car, went through a divorce, purchased 2 new Ducatis and on and on. Still no reply from any Lotus dealer though

I just got a email to have me buy another one. They will even loan me 3k for a down payment.....ooook.

Buy a used one and call it a day

Welcome to the forum! There have been over 3k Emira sold on North America. Plenty available both new and pre-owned.

I believe having an Emira that was eaten by a dinosaur would raise its value.

I just purchased my 2025, on the 6/30/2025.

I saw they were talking delivery of the one I wanted. Called and it just arrived. Put a deposit on it. Got it a few days later.

Take this with a grain of salt. they said 7 other called right after I did and wanted to purchase it...

I just purchased a week later (7/7/2025) and Lotus Los Gatos still have one V6 MT left and a few i4. Boardwalk Lotus has a few too but I don't recall how many were V6/V6 MT.

ADD: my sales guy has been super great (Alfredo Velazquez) and he told me after I bought it that someone else inquired about exactly my car (I don't think he has any reason to lie). My detailed _also_ told me a client of his were looking at exactly the car I bought. I think there's a lot of interest in the manual V6 as that's a car one and their numbers are finite (given Toyota and emission regulations).
