Is there anyway for the buyer to know if the dealer has allocated units? I haven't heard anything from my dealer where I placed the deposit.

Very true. We may have bad luck. My family and friends have had pretty bad experiences with BMWs unfortunately. My in-laws had a 90's BMW 3 series that developed some significant electrical issues. We had a BMW X5 in the 2010's that developed issues around 50k miles mark. We drove the X5...

I have a silly question: I assume by being allocated, means the buyer would be notified by Lotus directly, or the selling dealer, that the buyer has been allocated a car? Or is there another way to know if one is allocated a FE 1.0?

I agree with you and Doug's take as well. He was very fair with the Emira, I thought. Too bad he only had 1/2 a day with the car, whereas with other new cars he has them for much longer to get more familiarity and experience with them. Given only 1/2 a day to take videos, notes, come up with a...

Regarding German cars, I tend to shy away. I have a friend who bought a new $100k Mercedes hardtop convertible, gorgeous. Every time I'd visit, the Mercedes would always be down and out of service, because the hard top mechanism broke again, and dealer wanted $10k to repair again, or some other...

Does late 2022 deposit mean FE 1.0 or FE 2.0?

How much is the 2nd deposit? I put $2.5k deposit on my Emira build in late 2022. Will mine be affected by price increase?

This is my ultimate 3 car garage - NSX, Maserati MC20, and Emira. Already have NSX, deposit on Emira. Trying to see if I can afford a MC20 in addition to what I have without having to get rid of other cars I have, LOL.

I loved the SmokingTire's reviews of the Evora, and of the new NSX. Matt is a riot and he loves the NSX and the Evora. It's a joy just to watch his videos.

I am super excited to see photos of NSXs (both old and new) and Emira side by side. If I am so lucky to have one sooner rather than later, I will definitely be posting side by side photos.

Thank you! The overlap between Lotus and NSX is really neat to see. It really feels right at home here!

Wow, looks super similar to my 91 NSX! Beautiful in every way. What wheels do you have? Love those! And what year / miles? This is becoming an epic NSX thread of future Emira owners!

Wow, that's beautiful. Super rare and perfect condition (perfection!).

Purple? Super rare! What color will your Emira be?
