Hmm - interesting. When did you put in your 'final' order (rather than your reservation)?

Have you got it yet?

I assume you've seen this one? (also China)

I can conclude from all that that at least one in 26 million people in Australia have too much time on their hands... 😂

Mine is due in April (ish) - and despite this forum, I'm still desperate for it. Quirkiest car I've had was a 1990 Supra (going back a bit now I'm afraid) - but I loved it and wish I still had it - I've always said it's a cars' foibles that give it the character (up to a point! :LOL:). Like...

Shall we just say the word 'Maserati' and move on... 😂

While this is true - it doesn't make any sense. I'd like them to explain it to me. It's like the supplier is in charge. As a Lotus supplier surely you can't say 'sorry mate - we've only got black cotton' - seems a bit ridiculous! 😂

Why no BP? And why not change the interior between them - should you have two (hypothetically).

Or buy both...

will have to meet up when mine finally comes... EM70YRA !

Most of the reviews make a point that they have the power balance just right - not sure if desperately trying to squeeze out 500hp is the best idea to be honest (he said upside-down from the nearest ditch). I have a 500hp car already - and it's nuts - but it's 4wd an sticks like 💩 to a blanket...

I'll just say that not everyone who works in production is any good - even if they think they are. It doesn't come across like he left of his own accord now does it? And any company doing aftermarket mods would surely point this out to a customer. It's a non issue from a keyboard warrior as...

"Soon?" 😆

Congratulations - looks mint! Well done for not having the tinted windows so we can see the engine 😉👍

Don't quite understand why you'd want to cover it up? - you'll always have the scratch free spare. I have a friend who every time he gets a new car - he takes the original mats out - and then puts some cheap rubber ones in, so he doesn't damage the original ones. The he puts them back in when...

They may as well have stuck it on the roof - it's horrible - like a tub or margarine stuck to the front.

If they are they don't answer many questions on it... Would be a great way to shut us all up!

Would be a nice touch if Lotus gave you a model of your spec on collection - just a thought Lotus if you're listening (mines not due yet so you've plenty time...)

You are painting an image of factory confusion and chaos in my mind...

I emailed them (Customer Care) on Tuesday regarding the fact I'm being forced into making the V6 decision before the 11th August price rise. Not that it's a problem - I'm V6 anyway - but I would have liked to have driven the i4 to compare, since my build date is not till next April. Needless...

I'm definitely not shy - love being asked about my car - it's more my wife's and daughters' reluctance to the yellow. But what do they know... 😂

I think you're giving them too much credit there 😂 - if that was the intention the fields wouldn't be there in the first place.

Just had mine - you beat me to it... 🤦‍♂️😫😂 Who are they using for their IT and comms? Surely you'd check this stuff first...

Ahh - makes sense. Not from their point of view though - think they'd lock you in before build...

I've concluded they all look 💩🔥 to be honest. Which is why I said I can't configure a bad one. That'll be just beautiful! I stand corrected... 😉

Well, I've mentioned it here already, but I have an Audi S5 Cab V6 which is 3.0L supercharged. I absolutely love it - you won't be disappointed. I was waiting for the i4 test drive opportunity - but I've had the email saying I need to 'properly' configure before 11th August to avoid the next...

Always gonna offend somebody 😂 - I suppose red seats and red calipers on a HY would look pretty cool now you mention it. But it's all personal choice - I'm so close to going Hethel Yellow I can't tell you - but I've spent 18 months wanting Seneca and now I can't decide (hence my avatar - which...

I'm replying to your opening post here - but what put you off the i4 ?

Ha ha - I hadn't thought of that - my brain wouldn't let me! (I'd get yourself checked out... 😂)

Surely they must match an existing UK order? There are not 'that' many combinations in the first place. Can't be that hard to run the config through their system. And if they can't be matched, then that makes them very rare. Perhaps they are horrible configs - but that can't be the case - I...

Well I hope they do it... (I'll maintain that minus 145 add 30 is still a big negative number!)

Well said 👌 All car companies have many problems - and generally, because of the volumes, the problems are repeated many times. I have an Audi S5 Cabriolet, that I've now had for 12 years since new (had and still have others inbetween). I love it and somebody will have to prise the steering...

Well, let's just say you lost 145 quid in fivers (may as well use that number since they've lost £145m) and then found one of them - the found fiver wouldn't be much help would it? So on that scale - it is actually tiny 😉

I assume it's released from the finance company at the point of final commitment - can't see why it's not a thing myself. It's there to protect the buyer, and make them feel more comfortable when they place the deposit.

I was told that explicitly when I placed my deposit, that it goes into a holding account that Lotus has no access to. I have no reason to think they weren't telling the truth. I assume it's so it doesn't get spent should you decide to request a refund! 😂

As far as income the deposits count for nothing. They don't go to Lotus (in case it can't pay them back) it goes into an independent holding 'pot'. Won't show on their annual figures - it's just a indication of customer intent to purchase. The loss is huge (obviously) - but a drop in the...

I'm hoping by the time mine comes round the issues won't be issues anymore (although the wipers probably still won't work!). I've never considered the R8 ugly before. Isn't the power of suggestion a curious thing! :unsure::ROFLMAO:

I've not had the out thoughts yet - because my build date is next April - which suits me as I'm not ready for it before then. Oddly, the Audi R8, and McLaren have also been on my mind as a used buy. Both (used) will suffer minimal depreciation, in comparison, as they've already taken their big...
