Hmmm - that's slightly alarming since quite a lot of these will probably only see occasional weekend use. I cycle to work so all my vehicle mileage is very low. Sold my Audi S6 last year because it was costing £1k a month - and I did 200 miles from 1st Jan to 1st April. Expensive miles...

Oh I agree - well, I agree at the moment. I'm talking in 2 years time when the rush 'might' have died down - and (if) the supply chain issues have eased. Time will tell.

Well - I have an engineering company (UK) - and I certainly can't say I've seen evidence of raw material price drops. Stabilisation - maybe - and in some cases definitely still climbing - but dropping - no. I do sympathise with Lotus - but when the costs drop - the prices won't drop straight...

Yep totally agree - doesn't make it 'right' though... We are, however, living through exceptional times - so it's a case of suck it up, or leave the party.

Mentioned in another reply - but they don't like it either. It affects their sales - without bringing any benefit.

That's assuming I had prior knowledge... And his promise was that the price you sign up for will be the price that you pay. I was told by my dealer at the point of placing my deposit that the price might go up before I receive the car - which is not what Matt Windle says (1 min into the...

Don't you just love forums... 😂 I'm not 'rattling' - nor am I upset, merely surprised. I don't even want the car yet as it doesn't suit me at the moment - I'm happy to wait - assuming I don't die in the meantime 🤷‍♂️ There is a point however, where the price increase will turn people away...

I'm an only just signed up Emira man - ordered a couple of weeks ago (18th Feb). I agree with your letter above perfectly - also a business owner - I've stood by many quotes to my customers that haven't gone exactly to plan - and taken the hit accordingly, and increasing my price for any future...

Well for a start off - you expressed yourself pretty perfectly! Congratulations on the car - it's stunning - and look at that happy grin! 😁 I was in Bilbao about 5 years ago - drove down from Bilbao to the Old El-Paso factory in San Adrián. You have some amazing roads to try it out on you...

Cool - thanks for that 👍🏻 That's brilliant news - doesn't help me with the S5 problem though! - had it since new in 2011 - won't part with it. My Mrs said that if I turn up with the Emira, and the S5 hasn't gone, she's off 🤷🏻‍♂️ Let's see how that pans out... 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

Ha Ha That's interesting. I asked Lotus Prestbury to measure a car with its mirrors folded in. My garage openings are 2.14m wide. I have 2 - but one half of the garage is shorter than the other and the Emira will only fit on the left side - which is a bit of a bugger as that's where my Audi...

Me too - thinking I'll have to cut two notches out of the wood surrounding the garage door to get the mirrors in... 😂

Yeah seen that already - but looks on the photo like it's only one side...

What's with the boot misalignment (I have misalignmentophobia...) ?? I spotted (in the showroom) a slight misalignment where the rear side panel protruded slightly from the tailgate lid - but only on one side. I don't think I've owned a car that I haven't taken back to have something lined up...

The windows definitely drop when you open the doors - I did notice it - only because my Audi Cabriolet does the same thing to tuck and untuck the glass from the fabric hood. Also - how can you double tap the hazard switch from the outside???

Me too - at Prestbury. And very much still in too. It's better built than I expected - and by god it's beautiful. I'm changing my mind every 7 minutes on the colour though - and can't decide if the black pack is worth having, as it looks equally as good without it. It's perhaps quieter than...

My wife doesn't 'get' it - but that's a conversation for a future time... All I know is 3 days after configuring it at the showroom I've change my mind 3 times. The Emira has scrambled my brain. The solution is (obviously) to buy one in each colour...

I ordered a Hethel Yellow on Saturday - having had my heart set on blue... but now you've just changed my mind... 🤦‍♂️😂

Cool 👍 I think they've nailed it to be honest. It's not trying to be the fastest - in fact I have an Audi S5 Cab in the garage (never goes anywhere unless it's sunny) that's quicker. Just sold my 2018 Audi S6 (wish I hadn't now - 4L V8 Supercharged - will be sorely missed, apart from the 8mpg...

Just joined this forum. Test drive for me tomorrow. I've been following the Emira project since the beginning - but had other things going on so I'm certainly not first in the queue. Gotta ask - why the under-excitement? (ps - not had chance to watch your vid yet if you explain on there - as...
