    Buyer’s Remorse, Maybe?

    "V1" ??? V6 with 5 missing conrods? Or has someone just made up some crap moniker through boredom waiting for their car? Lotus don't use 'V1' anywhere in any talk of the Emira.

    i4 versus V6 sound … from Goodwood ….. OR NOT :(

    The most surprising thing is that anyone thought the i4 was going to sound any good in the first place. It's not Lotus's fault; there's not much you can do with a turbo i4, especially with modern emissions regs, etc., but the talk I've seen here and on other forums about how Lotus were going to...

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    Who knows... I'd guess in the 60s, but where in that band is anyone's guess. There are 40+ on the Trader now and the lowest priced one has been there since April. Surprising, to be honest.

    First Emira with an aftermarket wing?

    That's absolutely tragic. :ROFLMAO:

    I4 price hikes from configurator/reconfiguration this month!

    I'm thinking why not just cancel (at the very last minute before paying the balance), get the deposit/fee/whatever back then pick one up with delivery miles at a discount?

    Lotus to Start Delivering Emira GT4 in Summer, 10% more power than originally planned.

    My neighbour has one. It almost scares me just hearing and seeing it. :ROFLMAO: They are proper weapons, aren't they?

    Third Party (not Lotus) Finance

    It's common in the UK that if you take out, say, a 200k mortgage and then overpay by 50k (pay an extra 50k back than you were scheduled to have paid by this point in time), you're then able to withdraw the 50k you're ahead by and then repay that on the same interest rate as the mortgage (much...

    Harry's Garage videos - visit to Hethel and Matt Windle interview, Emira collection and drive

    Harry's published his 6-month review. Well worth a watch - as usual he talks about things a lot of other YTers don't seem to think about.

    Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

    The Emira certainly didn't look out of place amongst the high-end cars. Very good to see. (y) (Got to say, the most notable thing in that entire video was the sheer number of narcissistic throbbers with missing and illegal plates, though! :oops: )

    Have Lotus Customer Care gone to ground?

    They're extremely busy processing emails. It took them quite some time to get to my email, too.

    Lower Black Pack?

    They should have called it "extended black pack", or something.

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    It's crazy, isn't it? Loads of time and effort producing bizarre TikTok content for children but pretty much zero effort expended on paying customers. I got my finish line email early last month, filled in the finance thing to get a quote - I don't particularly want finance but thought I'd get...

    First Emira Breakdown?

    I'm a bit late to the party here, but I do struggle to understand Lotus's interaction (or lack of) with enthusiasts and forums with many known deposit holders and new owners. They have someone for social media but his entire raison d'etre seems to be to post inane, childish drivel for the 2.7m...

    Further Delays

    I'd have said your mistake is one of using your real(?) name on here, John. :ROFLMAO:

    Further Delays

    Interesting you were given Jan production, Feb delivery with that deposit date. My deposit was a week earlier and the info I had from Lotus (unsolicited email, 24th Nov) was Feb production, Mar delivery. I fully expect that to have slipped further now, of course...
