Car sales in general have not suffered that meaningfully yet. I think we agree that it had some impact on Emira sales but I would actually argue the impact was extremely minimal (so far). If anything, it may have helped initially as sales presumably improved with people knowing shipments had...

I’m not rewriting history. I’m simply pointing out that at no point did the US inventory of Emiras get to a sub 6-12 month supply. The decision to stop shipments was because of inventory levels, conveniently disguised as a tariff issue. I don’t disagree with any of your other points. I just...

There’s honestly nothing unsurprising about this. A lot of people two to three years ago on this forum were saying that 5000 units a year was a pipe dream because it always kind of was. It’s very unrealistic for the brand. I also don’t think it’s accurate or appropriate to say tariffs played...

No brainer pick tbh if you’re getting a M2 CS at sticker. The M2 won’t look as exotic but will be infinitely easier and less expensive to own. CS BMWs always seem to fare pretty well. I would expect your actual cost of ownership over a ~3 year hold to be at least double in an Emira versus the M2...

Wheels look amazing. I had John make me some wheels for my Alfa. Fantastic product and experience. When I finally get my Emira, BSPK will be my first call.

Very helpful. This is kind of the range I was expecting. I completely agree with your write up btw.

Welcome and good luck with the hunt (coming from another 4C owner).

Years would be surprising. Most cars it takes a few months after release (I am thinking of similarly small market cars as well). I would be shocked if it took years - you are right though that that is likely a little ways off still.

There's 6+ months of inventory at dealers (exact can't be calculated due to pre-order noise in sales data). Most i4s for sale have been sitting 90+ days. That's the real reason for the unofficial 'no more delivery due to tariffs' announcement. With hundreds of unsold units sitting at dealers I...

It's a piggy back. Install should be straight forward. This is an awesome development. I am personally still holding out hope for a full crack and tune to get into more of the 500+ HP range but for £400 this is a great intermediate step while we wait for someone to release a full crack/tune.

Starting to shop a bit - primarily interested in i4 but wanted to open this up for V6 owners as well. Those that have purchased recently, what kind of discounts are you seeing (specify i4 or v6 when replying). Thanks!

That's a very different situation. I completely agree. Gator communicating that directly rather than have partial info slip out on the forum would be much better business practice. That is the real issue here...

This is a horrible look. Tony had three years off but chooses to take a vacation when there is finally work to be done and dozens of customers are waiting to take delivery of the cars they've been waiting three years for. As a business owner, this is inexcusable. As far as I can tell, Gator is...

This is the 5th or 6th I’ve seen like this offered at original MSRP (so a discount to present MSRP) and none have sold quickly. Theres two others (one same color combo) currently advertised on this forum at actual MSRP - not MSRP plus tax like this is. There’s way less of a ‘real’ waitlist...
