12 month delay just to change colour?! You’d be better taking delivery and ordering a new one you may even make some money on it

Blue one going up hill on live stream shortly albeit it’s the repeat from 9am

Surely I4s will all be delayed as well then. Must admit I quite like the M3 Touring!

Nimbus looks absolutely superb. I am not going to get to see the colours in person before confirming my I4 this month but think I will move away from Magma just on that photo!

Did everyone who put a deposit in the UK get Matt’s video by email or just the early depositors?

I liked my ftype but for me I have enjoyed the Alpine so much more. That said the ftype sounds and looks were awesome!

Oh is Electra behind as well?

That customer car is probably Jensen's :)

I wonder whether the base £59,995 remains. I suppose with no options price published they could recover some margin loss there

Totally agree. He comes across well and straightforward but a few messages along the way would have been great

Good to finally have some comms. A few of those video messages along the way would have been nice

In honesty I am a bit. I thought it would be overwhelming praise but it felt a bit more muted. I am struggling to justify selling my Alpine plus adding £30k. Whilst the Emira clearly is more beautiful I think the Alpine May suit me better, lightweight etc

First review from Edmunds enjoy! https://www.edmunds.com/amp/car-news/new-lotus-emira-is-worth-the-wait.html

Ah I thought first i4 deliveries were December that’s good to know

The more I see Seneca the more I think I will order that over magma in the expect spec in the photos. Need to decide this week really

Yeh it would. Alpine gave the cover a very nice model car, a map (bit random) a book about the car and a few other bits for Premiere Edition customers.

Alpine give the cover free!

I asked could I moved to base after ordering i4 FE I.E. when base prices announced Good afternoon James, Thank you for your email. I tried to call but was unable to get through. If you switch to base edition you will join the current queue. Deposits are not yet open so the base...

So on base will you still be able to have magma, nimbus etc?

Great post thanks

How exciting and well done glad it worked out!

How exciting some of you will be driving one next month! I must admit I don’t fully get Martin’s comments about GT car: ” After many years of working at the Lotus driving academy, I am really excited to return this year with the new Lotus Emira. It’s an amazing GT car that really helps you...

Got told November is first customer build month for I4

Had same email. November 2022 completion for December 2022 delivery. Deposit 7th July

I'm the same completely lost interest! Went from wanting an Emira and the Eletre to probably taking both deposits back

I think I will wait but as a relatively early depositor it’s frustrating. Will probably be 20 months by the time it appears.

7th July 11pm

Agree and to be fair the extra info about pricing (i.e. staying at £59,995, V6 £64,995) along with when to expect specs and timelines for base does give a bit more insight to those considering value of the FE

On that basis I am waiting I don't want the car arriving in December anyway so will wait for Spring 23 whatever that means :)

Just re reading V6 base Jan 23 and I4 it says cars available from Spring 23. Spec and option pricing 'Summer'. 7 new colours for 23 but exclusive to base model

Check your e-mails UK I4 £59,995 from next spring and V6 £64,995. Press release has been sent out

I think I am slowly getting priced out of the market. Let's day the I4 OTR is £73k and my Alpine A110 is worth £43k that's £30k and to put in perspective I am looking at a Cupra Formentor as the family cost that could be bought with that amount! If I am honest probably don't need the £12k for...

So I guess approx £73500 with delivery costs? Not a great saving Problem is how long will we have to wait for base pricing and to get one maybe earliest Summer 23?

I reckon so (or there is a website glitch). Where there were three boxes with two grey out under the configurator i.e. you could only configure a V6 FE there are now only two boxes with one greyed out for base and the other 'First Edition'.

I have a third response they wouldn't commit to either 360 or 400 hp :)

Will be getting deposit back was hoping it would be smaller!

Is alcantara the same as micro fibre that Alpine use? I read elsewhere that alcantara doesn't wear well but I've always found my Alpine seats have. I would quite like alcantara if it's not going to be disaster to keep clean

Here's hoping they open I4 orders next week once reviews are published. Presume prices and specs will be out next week?!
