    What are you driving until the Emira arrives?

    Just bought this cayman s last week after waiting nearly 2 years and expecting another 1-2 year wait. Should hold me over until then. Should have done it sooner.

    What's everyone's placeholder given this long wait??

    Like others here I couldn’t take the wait any longer. August 2021 depositor. To get me through the wait I went and bought this 2020 Cayman S last week. Still had two year warranty plus 2 year CPO warranty so figured it was a good way to hedge my bet.

    V6 Auto First Edition Canada/US

    Yes I am Oakville as well. He is quick to respond when I reach out but nothing without me making the first move. I am ok to wait but may check with local Porsche dealer on wait times for the 911 T. Might get on the list for that as well.

    V6 Auto First Edition Canada/US

    Hi all, I am wondering if anyone in Canada or the US has actually spec'd an order/paid second deposit for a V6 auto first edition? If so when and what is your anticipated delivery date? I was hopeful for a 2023 delivery but haven't even had the call to spec or pay a second deposit. I placed...

    Hello from Canada

    Welcome to the forum. I am here in Nova Scotia. Deposit in since Aug 31 at Oakville. Haven't had much communication but hoping to finalize my order with them by end of summer and 1st half of 2023 for delivery. We will see. It is my full on mid-life crisis car. lol.

    I envy you. I am also with Oakville and it seems like a game of chess. I strategically think how to ask questions to get the answer I am looking for but always seem to get a response that is vague and not even what I actually asked about. I have been fine with getting a car in 2023 and even a...

    This is all so discouraging and frustrating. I am new to lotus and placed deposit end of august for V6 FE auto. I have no idea where I am in line. The only info I received is that my car will be built in 2023. I am still being told it will be a first edition. With what I am hearing here I am...

    USA & Canada pricing

    There is an unveiling for dealers in NY on Nov 5/6. Hopefully some more information after that and perhaps updates on Canadian dealer tours of the car.

    USA & Canada pricing

    Oakville gave a range of $110-$120 so while it is at the high end of the range it is basically my expectation. That is until this forum got my hopes up for $113-$116 but what’s $7k between friends.

    I completely agree. This speaks volumes to what Lotus thinks of the canadian market.

    Just received that email as well. I emailed Tammy back to see if this was meant to be Canadian pricing update.

    Viewing at Rybrook

    Thanks Tom. I guess I will ask the dealer to try and get the black pieces in for when my car eventually gets delivered and swap them before pickup.

    Viewing at Rybrook

    That is unfortunate and must be an issue with the configurator, at least here is Canada as the lower black pack is showing with black lettering and tailpipe finishers. I am going with the black rims and verdant but wanted the green roof. I guess I will need to explore options to switch to black...

    I like the sounds of 100 deposits but also think that may be low. Hoping for a first edition v6 but placed my deposit fairly late Aug 31.

    Hello from Canada

    Will be a car for weekends, scenic drives and weekend getaways. The odd car meet as well. As much as I would like to use it year round I think I will let it hibernate over the winter and use the truck.

    Hello from Canada

    I’d be happy with knowing what number in line I am at this point. I put deposit down Aug 31 but cannot get a number from Oakville.

    Hello from Canada

    Thanks for the info. Hopefully we will get more to share on these points in the coming weeks. I agree as well $125k for FE manual V6 is too high for Canada. I really want the FE but at $125k I gotta seriously consider the GT4 and even a base 911. Could use the practicality of rear seats (even...

    Hello from Canada

    Interesting so maybe pressured into making the deposit on Aug 31.

    Hello from Canada

    Welcome aboard. I am anxiously awaiting more information specific to Canadian buyers. I am new to Lotus as well and have thought about a base 911 and the Cayman GT4 but the looks of the Emira appeal to me a lot more. I know we are a relatively small group compared to other countries but...

    V6 with the automatic transmission?

    I am also leaning toward the V6 auto. For similar reasons. I initially told the dealer the dct but there is something about the V6 that I think I will like more. Any thoughts on the sounds from V6 auto vs dct? Sound is huge for me and I do not want to modify. If sound is better and horsepower is...

    Welcome to the new Lotus Emira Forum, please post an introduction thread!

    Hi all, joined a few days ago. From Nova Scotia Canada. Placed a deposit yesterday. Dealer is a long ways away but hoping for a great ownership experience. Thinking green with tan interior and yellow callipers, lower black pack and black forged rims. Sound is a big deal for me so waiting for...

    Hello from Canada

    Thanks. I submitted the deposit today. Dealer mentioned after today Lotus would not be taking any further orders. Not sure about that? Also mentioned we should be getting email from Lotus real soon. Anyway glad I should have a spot in line now.

    Hello from Canada

    Yes I think you are right. It will all come together. I also am not in a hurry for the car. I guess I could wait but would like to be on the current list. I am likely going for the AMG engine so if that doesn't come until 2023 I am fine with that. Ideally would like to test drive both as I could...

    Hello from Canada

    Not to beat a dead horse here but the dealer has sent me a bill of sale and requires the $2500 deposit. It doesn’t state anywhere that it is refundable. What have you seen as far as paperwork stating the deposit is refundable? At what point does it become non-refundable?

    Hello from Canada

    Heard from Peninsula Motors in Oakville. Sale guy named Tony. Anyone dealt with these guys before? He is saying between $110 and $120k base. They are asking for my drivers license and $2500 deposit. I asked for the paperwork for the deposit and they are asking for the deposit. Something doesn’t...

    Hello from Canada

    Hey Buzz, I am also in Nova Scotia and considering placing a deposit on the Emira. My number one reservation is servicing locally. I have no idea if there is any garage locally that services Lotus cars. If you don’t mind me asking who do you use? For servicing and warranty work not sure if...
