    UK refunds following cancellation

    It took 7 days to get a reply to my cancellation request! Chased the payment this morning and it was sent this afternoon

    Price increase

    I cancelled my order last week due to ever changing delivery dates. When having an open frank conversation with them after cancellation, I was informed that a price increase is coming and that they are expecting further cancellations. When I referenced the video, they said they reserve the right...

    JayEmms latest speculation

    My car, ordered earlier this year with an ETA of spring/summer next year (I'm fine with that BTW) has now moved to expected 2023, which to me says 2024. Can't get my head around how they can still be delivering 1st editions then!!! 🤔🤯

    JayEmms latest speculation

    Tesla specifically do this to keep costs down and profits up. They have a handful of centres to deal with battery and other issues but push as much work as possible to mobile. Different concept, they started this from the off and is also the reason they don't have showrooms.

    Top Gear Photos with Chris Harris Track Testing

    Great to see the DV at the end of the show. It's no doubt a dark colour but that green pops under strong light! Good review, must have been touring suspension surely with the comments about ride quality?! Lotus website has now crashed 😂

    oh FFS !! (v6 vs i4 debate in my head)

    There is an A35 AMG local to me so I hear it often. For me it doesn't do anything for me and I don't like the noise it makes when changing gears - sounds like almost any other M/RS/4 cyclinder AMG. For me the howl of the V6 is an evocative experience. I won't be using mine often, so I want the...

    FE Colors on base models?

    I posted a short while ago referencing that FE colours might be exclusive for FE models. Please disregard this. I was advised this at the time by someone in Lotus UK Customer Service when placing my deposit but i've found no evidence since that this is the case.

    Emira Review Index [V6 FE]

    The only review that counts for me is Harry Metcalfes - he's very unbiased, he tell you how it is - for our overseas friends he is a massively accomplished car journalist, he does work for motor manufacturers (but isn't afraid to slate their cars) and he's involved with lots of motoring events...

    No regrets on reversing my position

    Mclaren have done a very similar thing in the past - they made a point of saying that this wasn't the 100% finished prod car to avoid bad press on what should have been a hot car. They then used the 'it's not a 100% production car' , tweaked some areas of the car immediately prior to launch & it...

    Emira Review Index [V6 FE]

    These aren't going to be box fresh Emira's. They surely would have had shakedown mileage and running in service before handing over to review?!

    No regrets on reversing my position

    My friend has an Evora S, it's a fantastic car but the Emira is not simply a re-skinned Evora! I'm still slightly confused why everyone has been given pre-production vehicles to review - 1 thought is they will tweak production cars based on review feedback

    It's getting Crowded in here

    What is there are no production ready vehicles ready for test drive? It's one thing handing them over to journalists for review (which probably come with loads of small print & health & safety), it's another asking the public to jump in and take it for a spin. I'm sure test drives will be...

    Seneca Blue Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    I never made it to C&M in time before it left (they took it for a euro roadtrip!) - imagine being sat casually in the yard sipping a coffee with an Emira parked next to you (like the group in that first pic) 😎

    Full reviews incoming?

    Whilst there may be disappointment that the Emira was not reviewed on TG, we are now not far away from Embargo date! There's going to be a flood of Emira reviews from our favourite content providers, & hopefully in some closer to production ready vehicles than TG would have had. Not long now (y)
