I’ve just booked my tickets 👍🏻 will you be there with your yellow beauty Tom?

Is that their rate for used cars? I suspect their rate for new PCP or HP is much lower. Lotus Finance currently sits at 6.9% for Emira PCP so an increase to 11.1% would be suicidal

I suspect you are right - unless you are buying on finance in which case every month that goes by with another 0.5% - 1% increase in APR increases the monthly payments...

That would be some rise...

By choice - or have Lotus finally admitted that there may be another teeny weeny delay?

Here's a radical idea - correct the typo, and still send the email today?? Don't tell me, the typo-correction department has Friday's off.

Thanks for the info - what spec did you go for?

Thanks @TomE for taking the time to answer my question - you’re the man.

@TomE Was there any clarification on the 3 second delay on starting up the engine (from pressing the start button) that Schmee raised in his review?

In Matt Windle's video last week the 'first customer car' he showed had red leather so it can't be that. Everything else looks pretty standard?

What is your spec?

Just to be clear - is it still the case that nobody has received the call to arrange delivery in 30 days time? Have I missed an announcement that there won't be any customer deliveries in July?

I know I’m a dinosaur but wouldn’t it have been great to shave a few minutes of watching three clowns driving lorries to be able to see how fast the Stig could’ve hooned the lovely Emira round the Top Gear track…

It was all going so well until Freddie Flintoff said he wanted one - that will dent the residual values…!

Harris would choose one over a Cayman. Epic steering and gear box. No one builds sports cars for British roads better than Lotus. The only “negative” was that it was ‘old’ technology - but it is a “classic”. Awesome.

We’ll it doesn’t get any better than that! WOOOO HOOOOOO!!! 😄😃😁😃

This will actually be the first time they’ve talked about ANY car this series!

I wish we were about to see Clarkson in the Emira… :-(

Absolutely spot on - couldn’t agree more. Exquisitely put.

Yes I'm actually used to trudging around in the Ranger now - very practical! Funnily enough if you go on the configurator on the Lotus website today it still says "Spring 2022"...

I did exactly that too - sold my Audit TTS last July for a profit and have been driving a Ranger as a company car longing for the Emira...!

I hope you're right! With the 30-day notice period, it currently means the earliest delivery for the first customers would be 16th July so I'm now assuming that my 'August' delivery is very unlikely to be the first half of August - which means I may as well wait another couple of weeks to get a...

So we're halfway through the week when July delivery customers should be contacted - anyone heard anything yet?

Wooo Hoooo! Bring on the excitement! I saw a dark blue Emira (not camoflauge paint) on the road near Norwich yesterday afternoon. I almost crashed as I couldn't stop gawping. It looked stunning and sleek on the road.

Hallelujah! May the floodgates of communication and excitement finally open...?

Sounds good. Out of interest, have Lotus given you an actual delivery date yet in June?

Wow that is awesome (and matches my spec) - where did you get it?

I've gone for tan in the Seneca blue. I think it looks awesome but haven't heard too many others with that combo. Would be interested to hear what others think (don't hold back)!

Not sure if this is old news but the brochure on the Lotus website says the i4 will have 360hp...?

Congratulations! When did you place your first deposit?

Was that the Goodwood launch event in July?

Very interesting - thanks for the update. When did you pay your first deposit?

Now you can pick an Emira for just $4,500…. https://shopee.tw/search?keyword=emira&shop=19996399

I just called Lloyds and they confirmed you need to have an account with them for three months to qualify. Fingers crossed Lotus will at least match that, and if not, I'll just switch my account to Lloyds :ROFLMAO:

Do you have to be a Lloyds customer to qualify?

Now we're talking! Great work DJS :-)

If you're listening Lotus - this is the finance deal you need to match... file:///C:/Users/sslater/OneDrive%20-%20Busseys%20&%20Sabberton%20Bros%20Ltd/Downloads/AL55100_Alpine-UK-Finance-offer-V4%20(3).pdf

Yes Porsche are around 5.9% APR. But I hope Lotus go one step further and match the APR on a new Alpine A110 (which is probably a closer competitor) which is currently 4.9%. That 1% makes a big difference to the monthly payments...

Absolutely. Would you be happy to share the contact details of your finance broker? You might want to ask them for some referral commission if you publish their details on this forum!
