    Possible further delays

    The common enthusiast for lotus product desires a light weight, nimble to make most of power unit. Here in the UK there are that many cameras, driving at 10/10 is very hard to keep your license. just saying

    Possible further delays

    as of yesterday I'm out and requested refund. I use the car as a summer vehicle so to be told delay from spring 2022 to latest september it makes no sense for me personally to get the car and be taking it off the rd soon after to avoid the poor weather. The reviews confirmed what I suspected...

    No regrets on reversing my position

    The modern world here folks where people outsource their thinking and media control you. There will be plenty think they are strong enough to own their own mind but the reality is very different. Those interested in purchase to own for a spell and get out financially undamaged should be on...

    Now that reviews are out is anyone having 2nd thoughts about Emira ?

    Im not happy with the reviews either. yes it hurts I maybe one of few on here that actually likes the cayman a lot BUT... its a flawed car that the journos are not really mentioning any more. The lotus will have you up and down the box through gears. The cayman will go from first to second...

    Am I the only one who doesn’t want a Porsche…

    I love them really but having owned a gts 997.2 I would want a full fat GT version and they are big money. the 80-90mph 2nd gear in a cayman is a pig put off for me I'm afraid. way too long. everything else about them is lovely

    Not Happy

    Sorry if this annoys but I don’t understand folk whether they have sufficient funds or not to justify the product as being worth it. The costs of cleaning inspecting and delivering a car can be approximated up front and communicated openly on purchase. Not stiffed later and told to swallow it.

    Not Happy

    A valet is a clean of the car for the US member’s information If delivered to the door it will require a clean again is my view unless transported on a sealed trailer which they can't guarantee. pdi is what they should be doing anyway and not pushed onto the customer later. It amounts to...

    Not Happy

    Just received a call from Lotus and feeling quite disgruntled. very fresh so perhaps I need time to dwell on the moment. My July date communicated to me previously has been adjusted to August delivery at best. (Almost worth waiting for the September plate) The Emira will be a hobby vehicle...

    Interesting Article on the Cost of the Electric Future

    I hope not but governments are only interested in getting re-elected not long term planning for the greater good. fossil fuels are a depleting resource so a good alternative needs finding for that alone. Oils are needed so so much more than cars.

    Interesting Article on the Cost of the Electric Future

    I'm not convinced on the whole climate debate sorry. I do believe in efficiency though and if there is a better solution then I'm all for it. regardless of the climate debate I'm side stepping here I can see that densely populated areas can improve if less exhaust gas were present. Electric...
