    Canadian FE orders.....??

    When I first went to the Lotus Canadian website the FE was listed at starting at a price of $119,888, and now the FE price is listed at $110,363. Can someone who has placed their final spec order clear this up, which price is it? If the $110,363 price is correct maybe I should change to a FE.

    Evora, or Emira, which is the better looking car

    It's not even close. The Emira flows so well from one angle to the next. To me the Emira looks great from every single angle, not something you can say about most sports cars. I find the Evora just doesn't flow well from one view/angle to another. C8 Corvette is much worse than the Evora, too...

    If Not The EMIRA .......... WHAT ? .... yes ok blasphemy perhaps

    Being in Canada we don't get the gr Yaris but if I did have a choice I would take the Yaris over the Corolla, I like smaller cars.

    If Not The EMIRA .......... WHAT ? .... yes ok blasphemy perhaps

    So you think production of the GR Yaris is all done now? GR Corolla looks so aggressive, love this silver-grey color.

    If Not The EMIRA .......... WHAT ? .... yes ok blasphemy perhaps

    I think you've actually jumped the gun mate, I don't think anyone in the world have officially ordered a GR Corolla at the present time. I have a deposit down for a GR Corolla at my local Toyota dealership, I'm 3rd on the list, but I haven't placed an official order because Toyota haven't even...

    I've always loved and dreamed about getting a Toyota GR Yaris, however unfortunately they did not make it across the pond. A few days ago Toyota announced the GR Corolla. I went to my Local Toyota dealer and put down a deposit on one. I'm number 3 at the dealership so pretty good odds I'll get...

    Pulled out, after getting conflicting delevery dates from Lotus CC

    Thanks Tom. Do you think there will be a work around to be able to manually control the exhaust, I'd like it permanently on.

    Pulled out, after getting conflicting delevery dates from Lotus CC

    I finally got to test drive the Shelby GT350 yesterday, two of them actually, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It was far more capable than I thought it would be, very quick, raw, visceral, but unfortunately very large feeling as it is on the larger side. At 3,750 lbs it's also quite a...

    Pulled out, after getting conflicting delevery dates from Lotus CC

    Thanks for the tip my friend. Yeah after doing my research I'm fully aware that some cars had engine problems apparently the Rings were bad and they consumed a lot of oil. The owners did not pay close attention to their oil levels, then engines failed. The car I'm interested in is at a Ford...

    Pulled out, after getting conflicting delevery dates from Lotus CC

    You hit the proverbial nail on the head my friend, every single review of the Shelby GT350 has been positive, I've never seen a negative review on it and most reviewers are usually driving with a huge smile on their faces, laughing their heads off so giddy at the Driving Experience, checking all...

    Pulled out, after getting conflicting delevery dates from Lotus CC

    Andrew, I'm glad you found another car that tickles your fancy and checks all the boxes. I'm also thinking about pulling the plug on my Emira. The way things sit now, I may end up taking delivery of my base Emira sometime in 2024, which is a very long way off, and life is short and getting very...

    vs Cayman GT4 RS - Competition?

    The thing is, why even bring up any Porsche GT car into the Emira comparison conversation, because we all know they are not at all attainable for us mere mortals, so it's really irreverent in my opinion.

    vs Cayman GT4 RS - Competition?

    If the gent from Topgear says it's "the best sounding car ever", obviously he hasn't driven many great sounding cars in his lifetime, as it's not even close to being best in my opinion. He's probably one of those Porsche fanboys. Anyway, I personally think this Ferrari sounds much better, like...

    Emira replacing 1973 Pantera

    Lotus Emira vs 2023 Corvette Z06

    I plan on getting both the Emira and the Z06. They may end in being the last of the great ice cars, as hybrids and ev's will be the future in sports cars. The sound and performance of that flat-plane crank in the Z06 is incredible. Always loved the sound of the Ferrari 458, but didn't want the...

    Lotus Oakville will be getting a demo car sometime in the fall 2022. Car is an FE, V6, manual transmission, Seneca Blue, black pack, black V-spoke wheels, Alcantara interior, Alcantara steering wheel, yellow brake calipers. I'm looking forward to seeing an Emira in person, and most importantly...

    I just checked Lotus Canada website and it looks like they've lowered the price of the V6 first edition. Also, i4 first edition is available starting winter 2023/24.

    Lotus Emira vs 2023 Corvette Z06

    Of course I'm buying in an Emira, unless by the time the base edition is available, Lotus marks it up by an obscene amount. I have no choice since I want my last sports car to be the most fun, driver focused, involving and engaging, so it has to be equipped with a proper manual transmission...

    Lotus Emira vs 2023 Corvette Z06

    Exterior=Emira wins, Z06 styling just too busy. Interior=Z06 wins, lots of sweet carbon fiber, like the driver focused cockpit layout. Driver involvement, engagement=Emira offers a proper manual transmission. Power=Z06 by a huge margin 400 vs 670hp. Engine=Z06 wins, high revving V8, flat-plane...

    Let's see, I placed my order Jan 1st, was around 43 on the list, 10 cars per year, that's if everything goes to plan..... I just hope they're still selling Gasoline by the time I get my car.😜

    Magma Red Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Looks like all the early demo cars are getting the base silver wheels. Magma red is looking quite good. Another colour for me to think about.

    Emira production is underway

    I feel bad for those purchasing FE cars, not really knowing what their car color will truly look like. There are going to be some very disappointed gents, who will now be stuck with colors they never chose or wanted. Dream crushed. Most have commented that those who are in the FE group of...

    Post your spec!

    Interesting that most are opting for the silver V-spoke forged wheels, rather than the diamond cut. I personally prefer the V-spoke wheels.

    Leonard, I understand where you're coming from on some of the shortcomings, but mate let's get real. Why be so grumpy 😠 when you are fortunate enough to own one of the most awesome, entertaining little hot hatchbacks out there....a Toyota GR Yaris. I have a little tip for you, whenever you...

    Consolidated Emira Prototype Review Thread

    Maybe Chris Harris didn't test drive the Emira because as stated in the videos, the esc in the preproduction test car cannot be fully turned off so no power slides and drifting which are his forte and reason for living.😉 Personally these early video reviews neither excited me nor turned me off...

    What are you driving until the Emira arrives?

    I currently own 2 cars, Jekyll and Hyde. One a sensible, practical, economical diesel estate with an automatic transmission, and the other a fun, loud, Ruckus, great handling Sports hatchback with a manual transmission. Definitely keeping the Volkswagen diesel especially with these high fuel...

    Scorpion Tracker

    I take it car theft must be unusually high in the UK for an automobile manufacturer to include a vehicle tracker as an option. I don't think I've ever seen that in North America. Why not just electrify the drivers seat so they will be really shocked if they steal your car.😜 Good luck for those...

    Emira production is underway

    Any idea when the official pricing for the base cars will be released, so I will actually know if I will be getting an Emira, or have to start looking elsewhere if they have dramatically raised prices.

    Lotus cars=no adaptive dampers.

    I always thought that the Corvette offered Magnetic Ride as an option. Supposed to be an amazing system. I've read that Nitron and Ohlins adjustable shocks are amazing. Maybe I'm Wrong.
