Auto stop start is much better on manuals (imo) since you can have a say over when it decides to kick in by choosing weather to put it in neutral or not when stopped.

The GTS 4.0 was PDK

I test drove an Exige 410 yesterday which was my first experience of this drive train. I appreciate the Exige is a much lighter car but it seemed absolutely ballistic from pretty much zero revs all the way to the red line. It was also accompanied at all times with an explosive sound track which...

Unfortunately even after un-watching this thread a little yellow box pops up and shows me your reply. The figures I presented were to counter a statement that China and India are significant contributors to Climate Change. These figures unequivocally show they are not even close to the US...

The average American lifestyle is significantly less efficient in terms of GHG than most of the rest of the world, including those with similar living standards. The fact that several hundred million air con units in the US produce more coldness per unit of energy than the handful in a third...

This thread is not about environmental quality. It is about Climate Change and those figures I posted are the ones that matter in that respect. The US and Canada are not efficient in energy usage. On per capita basis they are significantly worse than China and India. China might may emit twice...

I think you are misunderstanding what the figures I posted demonstrate. Localised pollution may be worse in China, India and other developing nations but this, while bad for all species in the locality, it is not a good measure of whether that country is large contributor to Climate change. It...

NASA offers a view of the current scientific consensus here: https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/ The wider site also includes a high level view of the information that has led to this consensus https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ There is a detailed report from The Royal Society here...

Looking at the highest emissions per captia is the best way to understand the actual pollution a country is producing. If you want to start somewhere then the countries with highest per captia levels and a significant population would the best ones to focus on. It also helps if they are well...

It was at the bottom of my email in a section about the driving academy. Which I now notice was not about the academy as such but actually a link to enter a competition to win a free Emira driving session at the academy. Unfortunately it appears entries for that have already closed and the...

Anyone notice that the car believed to be Verdant Green in the heavily filtered pic on the academy pages looks much more like Shadow Grey in the unfiltered(?) version of the pic attached to this email? For reference the academy page is here https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/driving-academy/

I think I have seen a nimbus version of this one too. All these re coloured images are just a symptom of Lotus still not having managed to publish proper photos. Although the rumour is that proper pictures will be published in a couple of weeks…

This car was blue in this thread - 'Seneca Blue Lotus Emira Photo Thread' https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/seneca-blue-lotus-emira-photo-thread.17/post-31522

I think they are all sizing up the wheel gap

Indeed - that is my spec. I was locked in before I saw the recommended do's & don'ts so too late to change but equally (and I appreciate I am not a designer) I can't see why this combo would be deemed no no rather than a comlimentary pairing.

Is there still a hope we might get in a car before we have to commit? Not having heard anything yet and needing to commit 30 days before a July delivery I am assuming that isn't likely to happen now.

I had the same email this morning. Not had a response yet to my offer to help out by heading over and grabbing it as is in June without them needing to put in the effort of a full on hand over.

I think the residuals have dropped significantly for shorter terms (down about 10%) but at 36 & 48 months they appear to be much the same as before looking at the values I used as inputs into my man maths calculations.

I had a similar response about PPF when I enquired about it in the context of a Hethel collection. “We are developing plans around PPF, and once all has been confirmed, we will be releasing further information to advise accordingly.” I am hoping might offer something more competitively priced...

You previously had a call/email stating a June delivery but this has now been shifted to July? Did you change spec?

:( Sorry hadn’t found the finance part - I can see that now. Not purchased new before but it seems a bit much to charge for an inspected and clean new car! Is that normal? Is this all dropped if we collect from hethel?

Tax - although I thought it would be more

I asked before Xmas and still not had a reply either which is frustrating given others have since asked and received replies. Time to chase I think.

I received this in an email from customer care when asking directly about the disc colour samples I had seen. The statement ‘showing darker than real life’ could be interpreted a number of ways though. We have been made aware the 'Verdant Green' Sample from the colour swatch sample, is showing...

Is the green on those car shapes the same as the one on the discs? It looks lighter to my eyes but that could just be the lighting.
