    U.S. Update: Allocation & Order Date

    Some good roads around here, but mostly I've been working on my Ferris "pose" in anticipation of pulling up to the local restaurants and bars.

    U.S. Update: Allocation & Order Date

    I'm in the same boat (pun intended). I'm in the first batch coming to Las Vegas. At last notice (months ago) I was to expect a November delivery. I'm setting my expectations 6 months out from that date.

    Now that reviews are out is anyone having 2nd thoughts about Emira ?

    I've just decided to tell myself that there's an amazing new supercharged Toyota MR2 coming out in limited quantities and I've got one! Now I can stop comparing the car to anything other than the 1986 MR2 I drove as a teenager. Somehow reliving my youth through this lens adds the needed...

    Now that reviews are out is anyone having 2nd thoughts about Emira ?

    I am reconsidering as well. There's just not enough beyond good looks here to get excited about. I wish Lotus would have just updated the Evora GTs bodywork, added a Komotec 460hp kit, and chose how to best invest no more than 50 lbs. in whatever way they could to spruce up the interior and I...

    Let's start a fight, shall we?!

    This guy claims to own a Porsche GT4, and is comparing a late model EVORA GT. Make your own assumptions on how the EMIRA will compare, but I found this a good emotive review on how they stack up. I had a 2008 911 S, and was BLOWN AWAY at how much better the early generation Evora was so I put my...

    Dark Verdant Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    So great to see these photos! I had to finalize my order last month, and went with DV and these wheels. Have been panicking that I made the wrong choice, but now could not be happier. The more pics that surface, the more I think this car is going to look amazing in all colors and combinations...

    Just got the call for my US Order!

    When I placed my deposit originally, I had a signed agreement on my deposit that stated that they could not mark up the car. Not sure if they are doing so with others, but I suspect not.

    U.S. Update: Allocation & Order Date

    I don't understand the inconsistency from dealer to dealer re: their first and second deposits. My original deposit was $2,500, and I was able to place my final order without having to provide any added deposit. Go figure?

    U.S. Update: Allocation & Order Date

    Not sure if this is the reason, but I placed my order last week and the dealer told me that today 3/20/2022 was the last day that they could submit changes to Lotus so if I wanted to change my spec, I needed to do so by today. This said, I think they are closed today so not sure why they picked...

    Tesla Jumping - Monday Morning Fun!

    This video isn't EMIRA related, but I felt the community here might find this video worthy of a laugh (or cry). https://www.carscoops.com/2022/03/unbelievable-tesla-driver-stupidly-aims-for-the-stars-with-reckless-jump-in-san-fransisco/

    10 second video of a dark blue Emira in a showroom... Has anyone else seen this yet?

    I saw the color plates in Dallas, and there is definitely blue in it. However, I only saw the blue when I took the plates outside and moved them around to get the metallic flake to activate in the very bright, direct sunlight. Otherwise, it looked very shadow gray as advertised. My opinion: in...

    Well, it's official! Porsche dumps ICE for Boxster/Cayman

    I think everyone knew this was coming, but I didn't realize it was going to happen this fast! Looks like Porsche is done with ICE on the Boxster/Cayman in 2 years. See: https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/107818/official-porsche-boxster-and-cayman-will-go-electric-2025 Given how poorly the 4...

    A bit of a configuration panic

    This is good advice. I sent my config code to my dealer and when they called me back to confirm my order it was not accurate. Both the interior color was wrong as was the privacy glass. I had them go line by line with me and send me a confirmation.

    Order placed? : post your —FINAL— spec here

    I didn't know it was free until the dealer called to confirm my spec. They just asked "Do you want to add Homelink as it is "now" a free option. I said yes.

    Just got the call for my US Order!

    Nothing specific, I was just underwhelmed by the original reviews. It wasn't that they said anything negative about the car, it was just that they didn't really say anything specific. Basically, the forum (and I agree) have determined that this was a "preview" of the car and not a "review" given...

    Dark Verdant and.....

    After just getting back from looking at the color plates at the dealer and then immediately returning home to the configurator, I am in complete agreement with you. On a MacBook Pro, the colors on the configurator are VERY close to what I just experienced at the dealer. I am confident now that...

    Dark Verdant and.....

    I just left the dealership in Dallas, where I took both the Dark Verdant and Shadow Gray paint sample plates outside into the bright sunlight and had an employee join me for a 2nd opinion. I also showed him the photo in question in this thread and here's what we think. First, the dark verdant is...

    Dark Verdant and.....

    If you look just above the rear license plate dead center and then just behind the driver door again dead center, it looks to be capable of being very dark when not reflecting light. This is what makes me think this could be it. I'm going to go to the dealer today in Dallas and look at the color...
