Posted elsewhere, but: is current lot inventory selling out? At a higher price? Manuals have been more popular than automatics, and v6 more popular than i4 (as far as I can tell). Color & kit seems to matter.

Anyone have evidence that US dealers have raised prices on existing lot inventories? Or that lot supplies are presently selling fast?

Clearly, in that case the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing on imports.

Pizza runs are more rewarding, as you can count on it to keep your order warm. I suspect trunk temperature corelates with RPMs. Translate your drive settings as follows: Touring = warm, Sport = re-heat and Track = bake. You've no doubt heard the term 'hot lap?' Plus, damp swimsuits...

Appreciate you sharing this.

Nice .... gas stop at Taco Bell. Have you heard you can keep food warm in the trunk? It's a nice touch. Skip the Dairy Queen. :)

Same phone, no issues. Make sure Android Auto is up to date (both on car and phone). The service still relies on your phone signal which is handed off from cell tower to cell tower as you travel. Your phone has a cell cite location update (PRL?) which occasionally should be refreshed. Hope that...

Is this still in production, which is presently suspended? Otherwise, a rare value.

Made it just under the wire.

I use my partner for that. It's an auxiliary function that complements the cupholder convenience. The dialog is reliably spontaneous. Discovered there's an adjustable Coaching setting; however getting occasional feedback issues that can distract from driving dynamics. I find that sound volume...

Right generous of you to share. Thanks!

This is a great point: what are other dealers saying about current inventory, present orders and future prospects. On the latter, no doubt waiting for Lotus guidance. They have to do something with cars sitting in Hethel in whatever stage of finish. Sales revenue still matters. Emiras here...

Happy for recipients. It's still somewhat of an exclusive club. Looks like tariff with UK will be 10 percent, so it's your move Lotus. Wondering how quickly dealer lots will clear?

Interesting..... You trust Chinese state media?

The AT cars haven't been at popular as MT, nor the i4 as the V6. I also believe color and kit are factors. We have redefined orphan units. Otherwise discounts would have done the job. This is sad for dealers and buyers, especially with orders in process with production paused and costs rising...

Big fan of Adams products, particularly graphene coatings. Gives my Nimbus paint and parts a durable wet look. Dust disappears via a microfiber cloth.

Did you complete this with the knob in place or remove it for painting? Wondering about best approach for best results. Thanks.

Tarrif wars you say? How about 'I'll drop mine if you drop yours?'

Perhaps, but we can still run with the big dogs without the cost.

Can't quite see the blue, but congratulations. Your finish line is in sight. You have a few sleepless nights ahead of you. Then you'll be standing staring into your garage. And later, sitting in your car and familiarizing yourself with your ride.

Reliable source? Base v6 has all been accounted for?

Demonstrating Heel/toe driving technique. And toe-in metric.

Calling all Lotus: It's a year on, so celebrating my first anniversary as an Emira owner this Saturday at 11:00 a.m. at The Londoner on Midway near Beltline in Addison. This pub is just down the road from the Lotus dealer. Bring your ride and trade stories. Cheers!

Springtime Blue-ming

This is called back-petaling.

Does this mean dealers have unlimited allocations to fulfill orders? Yes, you can create a spec, yes you may leave a deposit, but based on dealer allocations can an order be sent to Lotus and be accepted? Based on a note I just received, Lotus is offering deals on i4s.

All the chat about ground clearance has been heeded.

Clearly, the buck stops here.

Your anticipation will be aptly rewarded. Nice spec!

As if Emira ownership wasn't rewarding enough! I believe she was rumored to have an i4 on order.

Lotus: 'We will give no VIN before its time.' (apologies to Orson Wells)

Whatever happened to investigative journalism? If that publication needs ideas: - state of the business: what's driving Lotus? - how are downward EV trends affecting Lotus product plans? - what impact might tariffs have on the business? - what impact will emissions regulations have near term? -...

Be the first to see the 'optimized production.'

Appreciate you making this available. The editor chose to use 'halts' production versus the more truthful 'pauses' production...., no doubt to infuse drama into the story. Cue hysteria. Only immediate upside I can see is putting attention on current sales inventory, then further on regaining...

Odd paint scheme, like a banana ripening to excess. Was this a compromise of two popular choices, splitting the difference?

Start at 9:40 mins. in. You're welcome.

Haven't you seen the price of cocoa?
