    Prices increase update from Lotus - and stopping of reservations for V6 FE

    You have to wonder whether Lotus want to thin down the U.K. Emira orders, waiting list until end of 2024, losing a hundred or so deposits isn’t going to impact them and will most likely sell future cars with little add one with bigger mark ups.

    Prices increase update from Lotus - and stopping of reservations for V6 FE

    Whilst I can’t say I’m happy with the increase I’ll take it on the chin like most I suspect. i guess my concern is mine isn’t due till q3 2024, so might go up again.

    Further Delays

    Further delays?

    Focus RS mine was put way behind others when I ordered early, then had HGF. Honda, put deposit/expression of interest down a year in advance ahead of many in the U.K. for updated FK8, didnt get one then did the same with the FL5 no other deposits from other customers and promised would get...

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Wrap for your Emira

    I’m someone more knowledgeable will come along how ever PPF will last a long time but does yellow, think I was told 5 years to replace. As an Ex Elise owner as a minimum mine will have full PPF on the front and side, if anything paint has become worse quality and find more chips on newer cars...

    Further delays?

    I have been bent over by Honda on the FL5 after waiting 12 months, heard GT4 you can’t get yellow stitch on the seats, no Ceramics or CF seats for GT4, 2 year wait for the Emira doesn’t seem all that bad! Then I had the debacle on the complete balls up on deliveries with the Focus RS and Hgf...

    UK test drive booking process

    Got my invite through, how cool! How ever as not getting car for such a long time and will be an I4 decided to wait until I next go near my dealer 2.5 hours away. As much as I want to drive the car, time is precious for me and to take a day off to drive a car for 40 minutes with the engine I...

    The next excuse for all the delays?

    Highly unlikely, but they should. As I think it is a huge risk that many buyers pull out month or even weeks before delivery, especially given the current economic climate. May be the U.K. is so small they don’t care or the Emira isn’t that important in the grand scheme of things 🤷‍♂️ Funnily...
