Personally, I’ve never understood why people get the name of a car on the license plate. Isn’t the name already on the car?

Already posted............in case you are wondering why no comments.

Message sent. But what is this testing?

So rather than remove inappropriate posts from threads, the administrator adds more useless posts/threads. And people give it a “like”. Maybe I’m missing something.

Which vehicle did you see in a head to head race?

Pot, meet kettle. I only care about other posts when they make statements that sound like fact, when they are really just an opinion or a blatant lie. No issue with an opinion, but at least state that it is an opinion. And once you've made your point clear a dozen times, maybe time to move on...

No to the first question and I have no idea what you are after in the second. But if it helps you, this fraudster stated 85% of orders in Vancouver were being cancelled. The GM of that dealership said it is not true. The fraudster also stated something like 50% of UK orders were being...

Even though you are apparently not monitoring this forum any more (kicked off it maybe?) you did state how many orders were being cancelled due to the pricing which was completely false. So you can try and weasel out of what you said, but you were blatantly lying several times. And you sucked in...

No I didn't, since he doesn't work there. I seem to be the only one that cares that someone may be misrepresenting himself here and giving out information that is simply not true.

My mistake then. I didn't realize they moved Gentry Lane from Toronto to Vancouver.

So where do you really work? If you've taken orders for the Emira then it has to be a Lotus dealership and there is only one that I'm aware of in Vancouver. Going to answer or run and hide?

Thank you so much for this info. He has posted telling people not buy this car. What kind of salesman does that? He also said that 85% of the orders for the Emira have been cancelled at his dealership due to the high price. Comments on that?

I meant enough for me. What's comical to me is how people can't get enough about complaining about the price. Why not walk away? Join a Rolex forum and complain that there are far cheaper options out there that keep better time, are more reliable, and have more service outlets. Is the pricing...

Enough. You don’t like the price then ask Lotus what their logic is. I expected the price and I’m happy with it. Others apparently are too. If you expected something much lower, well, complain to Lotus if you want to possibly do some good. I know people take pleasure in sharing their...

Then he doesn’t know his stuff. 2 dealers in Ontario gave out very realistic price estimates. Why didn’t he know what they did to not lead potential customers astray?

You criticize me because others are posting what Lotus should be doing. I’m just pointing out that maybe Lotus knows more about this stuff than we do. You really think people on a forum know more? Generally when a large corporation makes a decision that doesn’t seem to make sense it’s because...

Yes, you’ve posted this info several times already. Another one who knows more about the Canadian car market than Lotus.

Well, my knowledge of the Canadian car market told me there was no way it was going to be much under $120k. A similarity equipped Cayman GT4 is $6k more. Yes the Lotus is an unknown but it’s not like they’ve never made a car before. So you are basically stating that your knowledge of the...

They did. There is a comparison on the other forum that shows it.

So what pricing did you tell the people that 80% of them are backing out? I was told $120k by one dealer and $110-$120k by another. Obviously you were not realistic in what you told them. So yes, "there is a reason for this". I think you quoted how Lotus have priced their cars very high in the...

Curious how you know this.

I suppose people are upset because they had an unrealistic price in mind up front. Reading the initial releases, and a little between the lines, it seemed that Lotus was quoting a price for the most basic one, and then talking about the 6 cylinder first edition cars. I realized it wasn't an...

Of all the car forums I've been on over the years, I have never seen (well, read) so much whining and complaining. You don't like the price, fine, don't buy the car and move on. Oh, but I can buy this one for less and this one is far better. Then go and buy that one. Whining about the price on...

That doesn't sound encouraging. Has any auto maker ever said something like that and then delivered on time......not to my knowledge!

Seriously?!?!??!!? How are you measuring that? You sure it isn't 4 times.........maybe only 1.9 times?

I think we have different ideas of what "fit and finish" means. I still don't see how having a nice paint finish and good panel fit (inside and out) would add weight; not much anyways). There are similar weight cars that have good and bad fit and finish; older Vettes vs Porsche Cayman. It adds...

Don't agree with that at all, and don't see the connection. To keep a car light you sacrifice sound insulation, seat comfort, ride comfort, maybe A/C, fancy stereos, but fit and finish don't add weight. As for Ferrari quality, maybe when brand new, but give it a few years until the leather...

As of 3rd week of September, they were still accepting orders.

Well, it it is a "First" edition, not a "limited" edition, so why not make as many as they can sell? Sometimes the only difference when manufacturers do that (compared with someone ordering the same spec car later) is the badging, or maybe color or other minor things. If you were running a...

Exactly! That's like comparing any Ferrari to a C8 and saying nobody will ever buy a Ferrari when a C8 can out run and out handle it, with better quality and reliability. Someone that wants a Ferrari will not even look at a Vette no matter how good it is. You want a really nice looking sports...
