I was one of those guys in 2003 with the M3 I ordered. You missed one thing though... With enough research, I was able to find out the trucking company that transported my M3 to Vegas from port hueneme in CA. The front office of the company was super cool and gave me the driver's cell phone #!

I've been thinking this too. With a variety of cars for sale for a "reasonable" amount of more money, as far as I'm concerned, there isn't really a waiting list for V6 cars. Sadly, something is telling me the same thing will happen here in the US. A lot of people that "missed out" on getting a...

We can always count on you to oPINE.

I wonder if this is going to push the January production/March deliveries to further out for us in the USA.

These 'reviews' are getting old. I agree that the language of the review suggested a 4 star outcome, not 3. It really DOES feel like there's some kind of agenda with how the Emira is being presented. We get it, it's an old engine. But it's also reliable as hell, and allowed Lotus to engineer...

or 2060.

I don't think there's any doubt that Harry is part of their PR machine, but he does seem mostly fair. He did comment on the seats feeling high in his first video, which has been mentioned by other reviewers. I suspect the hubcap 'trick' is nothing more than snapping them on once the car is parked.

When the car was in Vegas, we were lucky and my wife got a chance to drive it too. One of the first things she said was that it was super easy to drive.

and cereal...

I believe they are stock. https://rennlist.com/articles/this-custom-off-road-baja-911-is-crazier-than-youd-imagine/

I’m in Las Vegas. I drove the Emira Thursday, and then again today. I mention that I drove it twice, because I enjoyed the first drive, but REALLY enjoyed my second drive a couple of days later. My first time out in it was great, but getting it rolling smoothly in 1st took some concentration...

When I first heard that the rear frame is steel in V6 cars, but aluminum in i4 cars, I wondered if aluminum dissipates heat faster?

I think you mean shark blue?

That's exactly what I thought. Deposits aren't sales. The more I think about it, this could be a perfect storm. A bunch of frustrated deposit holders that bail because they just don't want to wait 2+ years for a car, interest rates going up making things more expensive for borrowers, and a...

Will she be buying or doing a majority of the driving in it? I don't know your relationship, but I'd hate for you to settle. I have NEVER liked yellow cars until I saw the Emira in yellow. It's Gah damn stunning. If Hethel is what you really want, it's what you should get. Just my opinion...

In the photo of the seats, it says Emira on them instead of Lotus. What the....

"What are you driving until the Emira arrives?" My wife crazy.

Regardless of exchange rate fluctuations, the cost of almost everything around the world is going, up, but your email to Lotus convinced them to lower the Emira price. Right.

Don't sell the Pantera unless you absolutely have to. That thing is incredible.

Weight savings.

This pic is from another thread. Not the best placement IMO.

For you AMG folks...

My take is that something is up with the i4. What it is, who knows. I doubt it's just that the i4 is faster than the V6. That's already been published on Lotus's website. You can't compete with the shift speeds of a DCT. If it's a cooling issue, so much for porosity!!! Lotus already...

I went for a nice drive through the mountains.

Yeah, "Alcantara" is thrown around like "Band-aid" or "Kleenex" no matter the brand of microfiberish material. Quality is certainly different. Whatever is in my Audi is still plush, soft and fresh looking. My 4C is a 3rd car, so it too still looks great, but the material isn't as nice feeling as...

I opted for a leather steering wheel, because it's obvious the alcantara wheel will quickly lose it's fluff and start looking bad. With that said, my wife's 2015 S4 has alcantara seats and they are PERFECT after 7 years and 75k miles. It's very good quality alcantara. The alcantara in my 2015...

So are cars arriving in the US starting in January? or March? My FE order was officially put in in May of this year. On the chart it says March "Production", not "Delivery".

I think I figured it out. Eagle7 is Matt.

Seeing red Or not. We’ll entice you with a sumptuous red leather interior, but we won’t show it to you, ever. Emira reviews finally out Just kidding. It’s a prototype. Lingering questions finally answered Nah. Silver wheels Go find a unicorn. They look just like that. Standing in front of...

DV is going to look beautiful guys. It's 100% clear that lighting is everything with this color. In sunlight I believe you will definitely see the green hue. On a cloudy day it will look VERY dark green, almost black, and at night, pretty black unless someones headlights are on the car. Then you...

No, but I have daily driven my 997 for 15 years! I'm just responding to another luke warm review. It's out there for all to see. Forum saboteurs are not necessary.

More disappointment. Period.

Monkeypox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad I chose sport suspension too.:p

I was telling a friend about our limbo type of situation, and he had some thoughts. His opinion is that by no fault of their own, Lotus honestly has no idea when they will be able to start building a volume of cars due to supply chain issues, etc. Because of this, they should be honest and say...

Own a vendor? My last name is Geely. 😉

I'm just not a Vette guy. I totally 'get it', but it's just not me. When I see these 2 designs, one looks great to me, and the other, uhhh, not so much. But that's what makes the world go round!

So I'm on the phone with my accountant figuring out the nausea inducing taxes my company owes this quarter, and he says..... "Make sure you get the Lotus this year so we can put it against the business" :ROFLMAO: Hoping this gives some of you a laugh.
