I agree. Adaptive dampers seem to be a gimmick that give two compromised choices. Lotus have focused suspensions…….one with comfortable ride quality combined with good handling and one with stiff body control and responsive at speed handling. Bravo.

Defo get Sept registration. You can pay late August. No skin off their nose.

Guys, I think there are two issues unrelated. Production has started and needs to ramp up. No cars can be released until type approval which is expected in a couple of months or so.

I've seen a Seneca blue with tan leather. Looked good. Leather on dash and doors had vg stitching. Seat has a contrasting flash in the squab.

Be careful. If you get the stick shift you might crash the gears, just saying.

The video from Goodwood Festival shows the shadow grey going up the hill and there is a blue undertone in certain light.....confirmed by Lotus.

Now I've read a lot of the posts it's clear there is a lack of communication. I'm certain that will change over the next few months. Plus we all need to eye ball the colours......the latest configurator is good but no substitute for see the flesh.

Love it......join the club. My kids make it clear I'm 'not current' in business experience and that my 40 odd years in global enterprise is irrelevant. Well show me a business that can survive without customers....Dad, shut the F.....k up....

Tom, by my standards Lotus facilitated the press reviews of the VP car and that is communication. You clearly have made your mind up that " almost zero effort share information or keep customers informed of progress" has been made. So be it. I have some comparison as I became an 'early...

I may not have been complete with my post. I'm saying Lotus have made the effort to communicate the VP experience, that's all I'm referring to. I have very good communication from Lotus. Can't comment on the experience of others as I simply don't know!

I can understand your concerns......it come across as a revised, new body and re fettled Evora, wider track plus more engine and box options etc. But both the 911 and Caymen/Boxster iterations are just that....OK, the 911 now has Turbos and the engine is 32mm further forward and the interior...

This is a validation prototype and its hitting all the right targets , especially dynamic performance. Lotus have made an effort to share information, keep customers informed of progress. No more, no less. Simples

This is a validation prototype and its hitting all the right targets , especially dynamic performance. Lotus have made an effort to share information, keep customers informed of progress. No more, no less. Simples.

Its interesting how the Emira deck height around the C pillar (rear window line) is driven by the Supercharger being mounted on the engine top (as opposed to turbos in the V or on the side). This depth , or lardyness, has been well hidden by the stylists.

My understanding is that agency model will not stop discounts but it will stop inter dealer rivalry which leads to extra discounts above manufacturers support. The agency model puts price setting in the manufacturers hands so when output exceeds demand they set a lower price, albeit...

Guess the annual amount will be at least £500....

My 720S was ballistic and it could be benign due to the hydraulic trick suspension. Was it raw? No. But my wife could become raw, as a passenger, when the flux capacitor kicked in.

Very fast to 30mph, good traction with rear engine and pissed off Range Rovers at the lights.

Typically, they won't extend the working week as it wears people out and when people get tired they make mistakes, injure themselves etc. The way output will be increased is with a second shift which is very costly to start up (Training the workforce, Plus the costs incurred at component...

Porker dealers have a sh1Tty reputation and it may be deserved. It's a shame they don't just say ''we would love to sell ya one but demand exceeds supply and the boys back at Porker HQ won't let us have any more" . In reality car showrooms are transaction hubs, they don't sell cars they...

A few years back I met Head of Customer Emotional Satisfaction at Mclaren cars at a dealer presentation and dinner. Luckily she sat next to me at dinner. I have a background in global car strategy so can talk 'car manufacturing speak' ( sometime know as talking Detroit bollox). I made it clear...

Agonising over colour choice is a big part of the route to purchase. I have often found seeing a colour in the flesh can completely alter my take......is it a lemon or buttery yellow.......is it a post box red or, brown or blue red ( you now know I no nothing about colours!). Is it a purple...
