What do you mean not all FE cars got an allocation? Do you mean people that put deposits down didn't an allocation which is correct but I think all FE (v6) orders already happened Mar - Jun against allocations at the dealers so they will be delivered first of the year. Thus, no more FEs to be...

too long to wait ... guess it depends. I waited 17mo for the C8, I've had deposit on Z06 for 2 years and even with a low number deposit at largest dealer, still likely wont get for another year with everything going on. By the time the Emira FE arrives, it will be about 22mo wait. Some...

Agree it's all relative and context matters. The company is really good but there will always be people that judge, it's just human nature. Almost everyone is paid a good bit less than market wages but money isn't why people work here. I've busted hump and saved, invested, made good financial...

Posted today from @GatorMotorsport 7 additional paint colors confirmed: • Solid Zinc Grey • Atlantis Blue • Meridian Blue • Vivid Red • Osmium Silver • Aspen White • Cosmos Black All 6 launch colors will be available on the ‘Base’ cars as well.

I hear ya, I have a 12 year old sports car that was gifted to me. Nothing special but looks very nice and is perfect condition. I show up to work and even that gets me the stink eye. The company I work for is all about doing good in the world so anyone showing up in a fancy car doesn't go...

Welcome and congrats. Did you place at PP or elsewhere. Buckle up .... :-)

LOL, no kidding, I'm down like 400 and afraid it's only going to get worse. I pulled out cash earlier this year to pay in full just in case. If rates turn around then I will reconsider but I have one at 2% so with rates at double+ then no bueno :-0

Just move to deep sleep and get out of REM ... nightmares will be gone :-) Note this is also for MSRP so someone could get one way earlier paying the ADM. With my Emira delivery in the spring, can't wait for the deliveries across the pond so I have content to hold me over for the next 6 months.

I've had a deposit for two years already for a Z06 at one of the largest Corvette dealers in the US and was most likely expecting a '23 model year. Now with the constraints of no more orders until Jan, mine will be 2024 and thus a 4year wait from a very early depositor. The 2yr wait for Emira...

I do like the NSX and the depreciation hit makes it more attractive. Assuming it is only a couple years old, seems like a great alt. Looks are still good, just different than Emira .. but all subjective. The extra HP compensates for the extra heft. Overall it is great option

VL3X taking drastic measures to get engagement from Lotus .... nice twist

if you want them emailed to you then PM me your email or for faster service just use the cached page option and download yourself. Google emira handbook, click on dots, click on cached, it will then bring up the links for all 5 documents., click on arrow to bring up PDF, and then save

I thought the exact same thing. Downloaded first thing this morning and said to myself, I wonder how long until they are removed ... not long :-)

am an April confirmation for final config on the FE but no email from Lotus today

Same boat and am actually happy with a Mar/Apr delivery as it will just be wet springtime instead of who knows what during winter. There are definitely lots of good days during the winter but I have other vehicles to fill the gap. While I want it as quickly as possible, I'm completely...

Didn't realize I stumbled upon the secret HVAC thread on Emira forums but I'll add to it :) When I was stationed in the Pacific Northwest many moons ago (and I am from the southern part of the US and everyone has it), I remember looking at alot of houses to buy and not a one had AC. Finally...

On one hand, that is unfortunate (and expected given everything else going on) but I'll try to find the positive in the delay. Originally supposed to get Nov/Dec so now maybe Mar/Apr .... at least when it does arrive I wont have to worry about storing during the winter :-)) Thanks for posting...

@Elisesquared I too am hoping for delay from Dec until Mar or even better Apr :-0

just clean the steering wheel with a top quality alcantara cleaner and will look 'refreshed' again. colourlock is a brand I use but there are others out there

Agree that is a pretty lousy dealer to keep you hanging on for so long.

That's a bummer but as a another data point, I had put a deposit in July and originally was not in the top 30 that was the cutoff. I did get a call about 2 months ago and a couple people dropped out that decided on an i4 or wanted to wait for a base. That moved me up just barely to make it...

sorry that you are giving up the car but hopefully you will be able to get a used one or even a new one done the road. I've never been a fan of the buy to flip but I'm also not a fan of the dealer ADMs. However, I was put into a situation where I was taking delivery recently of a car and was...

I asked the dealer before ordering yellow calipers, they said that Lotus US responded that the yellow was changed so that the badge and caliper was VERY close,. Their emphasis not mine. Hopefully we will be seeing something soon

am from GA and do miss the place except in the summers ... oh the humidity. My current state requires front plates (and actually just raised the price from $10 to $50 - what a rip) but I only have it on my truck and SUV. The three fun vehicles not a chance, keep it behind the seat so could...

go pop over to the Blackwing forum and exact same thing except it's actually a bit worse because besides the lack of comms from GM, people have had cars built since Jan that are just sitting in a parking lot waiting to be delivered and then newer built vehicles are being delivered. Hopefully...

aren't you missing a zero in that calc though

You'll enjoy the C8, while not a manual, the DCT is great. I enjoy driving it as much as my other manual ... it's just different. The lack of comms and updates is unbelievable; am keeping my order for the Emira as I don't 'need' this car but I do want it :-) I have already been through the...

well I think it depends on the product used. I just did a ceramic job on a new XT5 and coated the wheel faces and barrels with CSL/EXO and then did a vette using Legends. I did not make them high gloss but made the black wheels slightly more rich in color. The silver wheels ever so slightly...

Very similar to how several dealers are doing with the C8 for example. You're in line and then they surprise you with hey you are up next but ADM. I called around until I found a solid dealer (there are many) that would keep you updated with info, tell you where you are in line, and do no...

It's not Lotus that will be calling you but your dealer. If they have 17 allocations then that would suggest at least 3-5 for Mar and then April and then May. If for some reason you didn't make the Mar submission then you would have most definitely got an April order which has to be finalized...

Very nice @NickR. I'll add to the posting. Not quite the sophisticated look as Nick but still I'm improving. I spent about 2 years building the house and I still wish I would have made changes with the garage. Garage is about 1400sq ft, full coverage with swiss trax, full rise (72") scissor...

So happy another yellow caliper :-0 Magma black alcantara with red stitch Black wheels Yellow calipers Lower black pack Tour suspension Privacy glass and yes, homelink

I'm also Magma and the three pics I've seen look all different but based on descriptions from Tom, I think I'll be happy

Gator is MSRP and been excellent to deal with. I usually buy below MSRP on another brand because of employee discount but happy to pay up to MSRP on the Emira. It is surprising some of the markups dealers will add as they will lose the long term relationship with customers (IMO). I walked...

Exactly what he said, this is specific to the US. I suspect anyone getting a v6FE also put down deposit back in July '21 (and earlier) but orders didn't actually start until Mar '22

I guess no one really knows for sure at this point as still lots of moving pieces but was informed by Gator that April order submissions would arrive best case in November 2022. If you plan for potential holds on arrival, shipping, etc then looking at sometime in Jan. Then, if it arrives...
