Being in Canada, didn’t the new car also add a 9K luxury tax?

The MC20 is beautiful, but if it’s like other Maseratis, buying well means getting a 5 year old example that’s lost 70% of its value. Lotus has historically lost 29% of value over that same time. Maybe buy the Emira now and swap into a MC20 in 5 years if you still want one.

I’ve got give it to the 488, but really - look at the price differential. For the Emira to even come close looks wise is a win.

I thought the same.

Never heard this expression before. Apparently people in the UK like dog nuts. 🤷‍♂️

Welcome. Beauty spec.

Touché

Agreed there doesn’t seem to be a lot of demand for a BEV sports car. That fact probably has a lot to do with Lotus cancelling it. I’m with LotsOfTriumphs that if anyone could do it right, it’s Lotus. Their target weight was 3500 lbs or 300lbs over the Emira. With the increased power (69hp)...

Are you the reason they wont stop making Fast and the Furious movies?

Yup

The BEV was supposed to be the type 135 coming after the Emira. I agree it would have been a great car and I am disappointed it got cancelled. However I’m glad the Emira was made as their last ICE sports car.

Agreed. That’s the same pitch/tone, but on my car it’s louder and it only lasts a half second max.

Same. No issues with that size.

I was semi-joking. To be fair, my car has been trouble free and I haven’t needed a loaner. However, from what I’ve read, I’m not expecting a lot of customer service from Lotus.
