Red fades and shows a lot. If going NG, I recommend red calipers and red seat stitching. It looks awesome.

Hey. You got any of them Emiras yet??

Having a few spin off model is relatively cheap to make but easy to put a premium on. They will likely make GT for the street version of some kind. Lotus hasn't exactly been held to their word on much. They are likely to postpone going all electric. After seeing what everyone is going through...

Random question, speaking of Canaidialand. Does anyone remember James from Throttle House's username (Youtuber) on here? I wonder if he's been popping on here checking the rumor mill about his Canadian order... Great Emira video BTW. Love those guys. (I have to say, I was quite annoyed when...

I was told the same on this. I was curious if there were any cars for sale outside of being ordered. So I called from AZ to FL and got some varied responses. Interestingly Dallas (near me) is the only one that said they had cars available after CARB to buy and are $10k over $105k-ish. A...

They do have a lot of cars. Could be cars available for sale, towed over with depositor's permission (I'd give permission), or press cars. Plus running the engine and getting fluids moving is better than sitting.

Any go to the recent Southlake Cars and Coffee? I saw a photo that looked like someone's Seneca Emira was taken there. Anyone have photos and see how people reacted to it?

To whom ever has the Atlantis Blue/ Blk pack/ Blk wheels/ Yellow calipers/ Blk interior with Yellow stitching... Bravo Madam or Sir. Looks very good and Naples have taken quite good photos of it.

Messages from Lotus only months apart and an apology gift? It may be Stockholm Syndrome but Shoooooot. I feel like I'm being treated great. 😂

I would suggest looking for a barely used one. I'm sure there will be a few and then the owner gets out at about MSRP and you don't have to pay that mark up.

Looks awesome. I really like yellow calipers with the Atlantis. I'm starting to wish I chose it.

I own two electric cars and live in Texas. That should definitely be enough to give my car a pass from this emissions related wait.

AI knows what it'll be.

Soooo if someone orders a loaded Emira and then buys a couple of $50 badges... They have a 1st edition? Will there be any other differences?

I think this is a good point that some may be missing.

Correct Nov. 2024 Then looks great from what I know. Thanks

Let's see here. Lotus logic... "... and we expect it will be delivered to you in the first few weeks of 2024." Few is 3... So that's 30%... Which means 12 months x 30%... ... Carry the 1... So the cars should be released 3rd week of 2025.

In that case I would go Sport PS2, as the voting is way F1 heavy. So I would think more people would want a track set of wheels with stickier tires.

There seems to be differing opinions on that question. I would say sport would be better if you track it some. (and we have a lot of great tracks around DFW) I've seen several state that during normal driving both suspension setups ride similar except over lower speed moderately rough road...

It was getting dark but that's the best comparo I currently have.

Sheesh. It's like we've got a relative at the hospital and they won't release them. "Sorry grandma I know you're ready, but the doctor says you can't leave till you've passed their CARB test."

Have you seen your car in person yet?

Lotus SHOULD be smart about this and use the delays as build up. Find some of their more "well heeled" customers and get them to do a Chevy style charity auction for the first US Emira at Barrett Jackson or somewhere. Have all the NA car magazines\media there. Just do something to get that...

I wonder if we can get Vegas to take odds on the various things Lotus may or may not do. We could bet on CARB approval date, delivery dates, when i4s show up, and have real high odds on things like random positive emails that still confuse. I'd take a few bets.

Gift needs to be a 2nd Emira after waiting almost 3 years and others that ordered V6 Manuals 6 months ago have them waiting too.

That's really cool. I wouldn't mind that. Fun that yours was "the chosen one".

I'm a bit surprised. I guessed Sport overall and Sport team Mich would have a larger %. I do remember when the demo cars were traveling around that the Lotus people were really pushing the Tour setup for some reason.

Anyone else get the invite to drive the Eletre R this Sat. at Dallas Lotus?

Similar thinking for me. Roads around DFW generally are pretty good. Also for us Texans, an hours drive outside of most major cities will get you to some curvy roads. I will probably only track the car 1 or 2 times and I don't push it to 10\10s when I do. So Sport and F1s were right for me.

I started a poll thread on suspension choice of NA ordered cars. Let's see the votes here Sport or Touring and tire?

I've seen a lot of great cars sitting at dealers now. Of the actual ordered North American market Emiras, I'm wondering which suspension did you get? Adding your city would be appreciated as well. Sport- F1- Ft. Worth Tx

I agree! Yellow Calipers look great and the black pack is best on that color.

PPF has come a long way the last few years. It's more clear, lasts longer before getting old looking, and a thick (comparatively) layer of protection that wins over even a good ceramic coating... BUT, when we're talking that much money on a non-daily driver... I'll stick with the coating. My...

I say skip the PPF and just do 2 layers of CQuartz 3.0 ceramic coating. Maybe a 3rd layer with Gliss 2.0 like I'll do. Done with your own hands, will make you bond (pun intended) with the car. It's hard work but much easier on a new car, it'll save you a ton of money, look amazing, and it's a...

F8 is a good call, especially by the side shot. I saw an MC20 over a year ago at my dealer during the Emira test drive and quickly compared the two. I went to see my Emira now sitting at the dealer and they had an MC20 again. I don't think it's a stretch at how similar these cars are...
