That's what I did in September. I've always had a soft spot for spider varients and the 570s ticked all the boxes, it's an amazing car. I looked at both the GT and Spider, but trumped up the extra cash for the Spider. The best discount you will get will be via a private seller. I bought mine...

I'm increasing convinced that the Emira Is a kickstarter campaign, only without the early bird perks

As usual without any actual information from Lotus, who knows? It's got very protracted with only speculation filling the vacuum. I simply do not understand Lotus communication strategy.

This thread in my opinion as proven without doubt "The many worlds hypothesis" There's no way I'm in the same universe as some!

Have a look at the 570GT, they have one. Trust me, do a test drive. Also GVE do warranty at half the price of a main dealer. The corrosion issue isn't as bad as people have made out, the key thing with the 570 is not to get an early model, they changed the interior and paint formula. 2018 >

Worth a look, comments on depreciation of the Emira and my current purchase of the 570s!

Lotus are obviously having issues around scaling up which includes other company aspects as well as production including: communication, marketing and internal processes. Personally they need to have an external company review the situation to advise senior management....it almost feels like the...

Personally I need 6 cars for an intense shop to ASDA.

Or something else??

Yeah, it's a knock on from the V6 delay. I called CS, first i4 batch is Feb March delivery. Its going to be spring

Come on, you can't say that without citing a source!

I switched from the V6 to the i4 and I'm also wondering why there is little information about it. I know that the first batch of customer deliveries are due Feb. However my confidence is not great. I would have expected prototype units being shown with pre production in October. It might just be...

There will be people (from Asia) on here that know more about this than me but most OEMs have to supply Chinese built cars (or big % of) that are locally built. Obviously being owned by Geely makes it an economic no brainer….

I did exactly that (2019 ps380 convertible) early this year expecting June delivery. When I started to get doubts around may time I bought an abarth 124 spider. It's been a great car for the summer.

Interesting. I wonder if they can get a wiggle on and ship them here??

They are certainly doing their best to convert a loyal customer to another brand.

I seem to have a different email? I'd love to take the glory, but it was another 'off forum' suffering emira deposit holders work

It's worth rewatching harrys garage again. I think he nails so many points about the car from the pre production units he was given. Also the context of a road car driven on uk roads was important to me. There's an interesting quote where he says it feels like this car could have come out years...

Won't these be dealer cars?

MW: Great to be back after a few weeks away! Anon: welcome back sir MW: Been thinking we ought to start building some cars now. We've had a laugh showing customers our papermache mockups but its time to move the customer journey on. Anon: Great idea sir. That video was the crudagras! MW...

Didn't I read somewhere that Lotus have been on shut down for the last few weeks which I guess is why no communication has come from the factory? Lotus comms is of course shocking but it might be a reason for total inactivity recently

It's either that or BS!

Nothing average about that. I use the word 'optimal'

A slight tongue and cheek list of baffling Lotus communication from early days to now. I bet there's plenty I missed! Don't tell the dealers Pike Best we handle this, can't be that hard can it? The deposit anomaly Guess a number, the number of deposits and when you need to pay them. The...

Not sure it's compromised as would be a common choice for UK all round weather. What is interesting is the tour setup version didn't have that many reviews I seem to remember it was the magma car

Reading between the lines. The exerior design is great. Frustration at lack of a finished car (I still don't believe it's just down to supply) Lotus should have put a new drive train and engine in it for the FE launch car. The AMG unit could be a better choice Suspension (sports) is quirky...

I'm starting to wonder if they are having issues with the i4, there has been no information or pre production drives with it and customer manufacturing is only a couple of months away.

They'll have my deposit on the next episode!

I changed my order to an i4, mainly to give me some breathing room and see if things settle down. I can make a decision Jan time. If Lotus are still all over the place (no news at all on the i4 yet!) I'll can cancel the order and buy something else.

Would be second hand for me.

Me too Tony. I keep going back to 570s and wondering if the wife will kill me

The good old days 😪

Something isn't adding up. It's not waiting for parts from China. I wonder if they've had to get a new wheel supplier which has meant they've had to revalidate

Not a great sign! There's so little information coming out of Lotus at the moment.

Got confused. You are correct
