If it is any help, I placed my deposit with Gentry in September 2021 and was deposit holder #54. I got the call to place my order in February 2024 and was told that I could expect delivery (potentially) in August 2024.

I'll second that!

I had a chance to talk to my dealer (Gentry Lane) yesterday. They confirmed that FE2.0 will be available to order "soon". I believe they are awaiting confirmation from Lotus on how many they expect to receive. He was under the impression that it will be getting far less than the FE1.0...

Let's put it this way... I'm a September 2021 deposit holder (Toronto). I just spoke to my dealer yesterday and they advised that I likely won't be ordering until Q1 2024. I hope that helps.

Just so you know - I asked the Lotus chat function whether Canadians will receive FE2.0 and the following is their response... This should help clarify whether Canada is getting additional FE's. When... is another story!

The lack of communication from our dealers is getting ridiculous. Especially when you read that the US dealers are already taking orders on the FE2.0 cars. On a (somewhat) positive note... they have been consistent! lol

I meant 400 deposits.

Good point!

With the lack of communication for Lotus, it appears evident to me that there is a considerable amount of misinformation being provided to (and from) our dealers. Therefore, they are all likely telling us some variation of their own truth. Based on my discussion with Gentry Lane (Toronto)...

WOW... I was not expecting that response! Great news! It is very irritating that we can't get consistent information from our dealers. I am also quite surprised that Oakville actually issued something to their deposit holders. Since putting in my deposit (in September 2021), I have yet to...

Apparently Gentry (Toronto) has over 200 deposits. With so much delay in the release of this car, I asked if they had many cancellations... they claimed barely any. I find that hard to believe with so many delays. I'm curious to know how many depositors the other dealers are at (Oakville...

It has been quite some time since I talked to my dealer (Gentry Lane - Toronto). So, I thought I would give them a call to get the latest. All they could/would tell me is that no cars will be delivered in 2023 and first car delivery in 2024. When I asked about the potential V6 FE2.0, he had...

Since we are on the topic of Toronto dealerships... Gentry is not very forthcoming when it comes to email correspondence, but has anyone heard directly from them lately? (More so, since the announcement of a potential FE V2 model)

Is there merit to the discussion of the FE V6 2.0? (North America FE V6 2.0 Buyers Thread) If this is indeed true, there was a reference made in that thread to the fact that the US is getting 600 FE V6 2.0? Does anyone know how many we Canadians are getting? If any? If this is a reality...

Interesting... Placed my deposit with Gentry on September 27/2021 and I'm #54. Looks like a lull in the orders between July and September (Only 15 deposits in the next 2-month span). I'm curious to know how many deposits they have now.

I am not 100% certain that they were only going to call FE depositors. It was what I deduced from our conversation and the fact that they did not send out any information to their deposit holders, nor were they calling me. It could very well be that they had a cut-off number and I didn't make...

FYI - I am deposit holder #54 at Gentry (Toronto) and they did not contact me for a test drive. When I contacted them (3 or 4 days before they got the demo), they had seat times available. From what I gathered from our discussion, it appeared that they had no intention of calling anyone other...

Has anyone been contacted by Gentry yet? (I know I haven't!) November 2nd/3rd is less than 1 week away!

I spoke with Gentry Lane about a month ago. What I recall from the discussion was that they were initially told that they would have a demo in late October. But they were not confident with that timeline and expected it later than that. I insisted that they notify me when they intend to...

I'm in the same boat... Any communication from Gentry has been initiated by myself. Any email responses have been extremely vague. You can typically get more out of them with a telephone discussion (but nothing concrete). Don't get me wrong, John and Paul seem very nice to deal with, but...

I still find it odd that Oakville won't tell you where you are on the list. Especially as an early depositor! When I put my deposit in with Gentry (September 2021) they immediately told me (verbally) that I was #54. From my experience, Gentry is reluctant to provide any details in their email...

If it is any consolation... It has also been radio silence from Gentry Lane (Toronto). Surprisingly, I received the same email directly from Lotus USA (with an actual reference #). I'm assuming others did as well?

Oh no... I was assuming a total of 500 deposits total based on what others have noted in these forums. Gentry Lane (Toronto) ~ 130+ Oakville (Toronto) ~ 100+ Scotti (Montreal) ~ 70+ Calgary ~ 50 (from Feb 2022) Vancouver - unknown... However, I believe they were given the 2nd most FE orders...

Good question... From what I recall, Canada only had a measly 10% share (70/700) for the North American FEV6 allocations. It appears that most Canadian dealerships have a healthy amount of allocations (~100+ each for 5 dealerships). Therefore, at that pace, anyone putting in a deposit now may...

Welcome to the club! lol

Welcome aboard shu5892001 and Mangoose! You're in for quite the journey. If you are looking for information on the new Emira, you've come to the right place! I too have a deposit in with Gentry. They are nice people. However, don't expect to get much information out of them. You are...

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but for those interested in value comparison between the Evora and Cayman...

My overall experience with Gentry has been hit and miss. I too value transparency and honesty. Nothing annoys me more than people who lie and cheat to make a sale. For what it's worth... After putting in my deposit with Gentry (September), I had growing concerns with the lack of email...

Since the very beginning, I've always understood that the Toyota-sourced V6 was going to have ~400HP (298kw) and the AMG-sourced I4 was going to have ~360HP (268kw) and based on the updates on the website, that is still the case. Lotus has always noted that the 0-60 times will be under 4.5sec...

I reached out to Gentry today and got some useful information. So I thought I would share. They were reluctant to tell me, but it sounds like they may get around 10-15 V6FEs. It also looks like they are going to get a sample chest in the new few months. When it comes in, they will likely...

With all of the various sources share in these forums, it is very difficult to track facts versus interpreted information. Kudos to you for your infinite wisdom and dedication to this forum. (I knew he had some Canadian in him! lol)

I want to start off by praising @TomE for your infinite wisdom and input on these forums. The information you share is always well thought out, positive, courteous, and factual! (I swear he's part Canadian!! :p) To me, it is clear that Lotus have decided to divide their strategy between the...

Neither did I! I assumed it was only the main dealerships in the US.

Wow... That's disappointing! You'd think with only ~90 depositors, they would give us some kind of notice? (At the time, it was likely around 60) Since I put my deposit in September... its been radio silence from them! I've only called them a handful of times through the deposit process, but...

What?? Never mentioned it!! :mad:

If I only lived closer to Montreal... I've heard nothing but good things about them. Gentry (Toronto) is not responsive to emails, but will answer phone calls. However, they are reluctant to provide any useful information. I guess I will need to sit back and be patient. Anyone have any...

Not that it matters.... but, I'm curious to know why some Canadian dealers have received allocations and other have not?? Could it be that all dealers know, but the ones that "claim" that they have "not" received their allocations are just not telling the public? If so, not cool!

Just got off the phone with Gentry... They confirmed that they have yet to establish allocations, but they anticipate that it will likely be a small number for 2022. Similar to the discussions in the "U.S. Update: Allocation & Order Date" topic, they said that there will only be a limited...
