Agree... before and after runs on the same dyno are the least hand-wavy way to tell what mods have actually unleashed.

A continued disregard for their customer base? 😏 If they don't show a production-spec Emira i4 doing the business up the hill, I'll be pretty sad.

You think they're that organised and capable...? </rhetorical-question>

There's a bit of leg-pulling going on... looked in the page source myself, and there is nothing of the sort. I'd say it's been manually added via the built in browser dev tools for the purposes of taking a screenshot to wind everyone up. Mission accomplished ;)

Although a couple are classy safe options, all a bit yawn-tastic really. I would happily pay a bit more to get Venom Green (as seen on Evija) or Toxic Green, or Scandal Green, or Krypton Green, or Isotope Green. Which they will no doubt allow later in the year, when it is too late. Why must you...

Actually, it is my adblocker... there is a large amount of tracking nonsense preventing the assets from being reachable, and I don't care enough to pick through the logs and open privacy holes. Oh well :|

I can't even get the configurator to load any images, so maybe the information-starved masses have rained down a DDOS on the site :D

Hi ADC, From today, more colours are available to choose from on the Lotus Emira, you can try them out on the Emira configurator now. See the colours The new colours will be available on cars built from August 2023. Don't worry, there is no need to pay a new reservation. The Emira...

OMG... so we can only drive backwards?! 😏

Oh you cheeky monkey! Beat me to it, and with the exact same spec (silver wheels FTW)! :D

Loving the blips. Aw yiss. Looks like a great bit of road.

I suppose it makes sense... they don't want to be in a position where their otherwise impeccable record for top-shelf customer experience is sullied by rogue customers complaining when they have to travel possibly several miles to a neighbouring country to see the dealer for after-sales service...

My initial reaction was "where tf are those bird noises coming from?", but that is Very Nice Work, sir. 😄

I guess it just irks me when professional reviewers are not detail-oriented, and get facts wrong when they are trivially verifiable elsewhere. Didn't horrify me enough to discount their views, of course.

Initial thoughts were "how does he not know why there is no frunk?" and "wtf is he on about saying that the suspension options differ by alignment and tyres only?" (is that a US-market-only thing perhaps?), but overall, a nice enough review.

Is this true? I'd have expected this to be shouted from the rooftops if so... it feels highly unlikely at that price-point. I like to think I'm not completely naive to how the world works, but... wow. Sure, I expected that figures would be based on running with zero passenagers and minimal fuel...

No biggie... it's a supplemental restraint system, so you'll probably be fine. :badpokerface:

Yeah baby!

Don't delete too much of the melodrama... some of it is entertaining in retrospect :)

Boot hatch frame fills with water | Page 4 | Lotus Emira Forum <backs away slowly> :)

uh oh... he used the F word. 🍿:)

It would go some small way towards making an unpleasant situation less bad... but £6K is one hell of an expensive remap 😅

Same here... Tour just had less "jiggle", which I think would grate on long journeys (especially on a non-car-freak passenger), and was markedly more composed on gnarly back roads. 👍

I've been off the forum for a few days (started a new job this week), but I see you've made part of the key part of the decision already (i.e. keep the Emira 👍 ). Please permit me to pile in with some further unwanted and terrible investment advice, and say... if it means you get to keep the...

At these speeds (approx 4 sec), it usually takes a further couple of seconds to even notice I've wet myself laughing...

I will absolutely hold it against them... and then probably buy one anyway *sigh*

What... you mean like how they neutered the i4? :suppressed-rage:

These days, it would seem that every week is the wrong week to quit sniffing glue...

Yeah, I had a hard lesson on this on my very first car when I was a youngster - right before a yearly roadworthiness inspection (the best time to modify your car, naturally!). Being an aspiring-but-still-clueless hooligan/rally-star, I swapped the standard intake with paper filter for pod-style...

Completely agree with others... since seeing one in the flesh at Silverstone, on top of videos and pics here on the forum, the idea of Magma is growing on me. Especially with silver wheels for maximum "Baby-rrari" factor :) It really is a nice colour in person. Damn you. Damn you all.

To fit that analogy to the situation, you have to ignore that you could have been happily consuming actual chocolate bars over the last couple of years before they put the price up. Let's suppose that Cadbury announced delicious-looking new chocolate bar, and a bunch of people said "I want...

With respect, I can't really agree that placing a deposit on an i4 FE within the first few of months of the reveal and during the roadshow events in 2021 was any more speculative than the V6. The narrative was always firmly that the i4 FE would begin delivery 6 months after the V6 FE. Aside...

Good point from Gizmo. The way I had considered The Video Promise was, who could he reasonably be presumed to be addressing with a broad mailshot Youtube video, if practically nobody had placed a "hard order" (i.e. gone through the checkout process) at that point in time? I don't think it is...

Get outta here, Lots-of-trouble-maker! :shakefist: ;)

This is begging for a prancing horse donkey badge :D

This is exactly why I have been fairly chill about just waiting however long for them to get their act together. Pop goes that bubble :( I'm annoyed enough by this turn of events that I should probably take a break from the forum for the rest of today, so I'm not just constantly...
