“The gynecologist “ ??

You make the assumption that we are going to order this car eventually. There are a lot of 1st time lotus customers like me that lotus SAYS they value and are trying to bring into the brand. But this ordering experience is shit compared with other brands I’ve purchased and I am being teased...

Does the Hethel pickup option include a tour of the world renowned Lotus PR department? Asking for a friend.

Spray on PPF in a color like those would be awesome. I don’t know anyone who’s ever had spray PPF or any shops that install it however. Not a fan of wraps because of easy damage and limited protection.

Seems like people always dissing McDonalds (yellow/red) and Superman (Blue/red). I say if you are feeling it, go for it!! As for the Blue/tan: lotus doesn‘t seem to object: But personally that’s my spec for the moment (blue/tan). Though green / tan is a possibility as is shadow grey/tan...

I believe Porsche also dropped it from some models for same reason (lots of reports of overheating phones and poor performance)

I’m afraid you are likely correct. But uni-q in the lower door panel vs a proper split time aligned dual driver is just seeing everything as a nail when all you own is a hammer. Uni-q design really doesn’t make any sense in a car environment vs a home listening position. A leg in front of the...

Tweeters in the lower doors will sound like crap. Full stop. Uni-q doesn’t change high frequency directionally. If they don’t have tweeters in the a pillars I will be shocked. It’s next to impossible to get a decent high end frequency response curve unless high frequency drivers at ear level.

So many beauties in there. Really wish lotus had offered some exotic colors like those.

That’s clearly a light shining from back right. It’s lighting for the show Look at the shirt. And the shape of the shadow. The clues are there. You can read lighting cues by the reflections in a models eyes and same thing here

the world tour seats looked extremely plain and boring. They were too high. Reasonably comfortable but not as sport bolstered like I would have expected for a "driver's car". Was told seats would be revised and better and 20mm lower by the lotus staff at the event. Here we are MONTHS and...

sigh, the first impression 30 seconds in: the engine bay still looks like it's held together with lawnmower clamps. Why in the F would you send out prototypes for press reviews.

“This govt has mandated this…”. Ok information “We all gonna die because cars go brrr” - politics forum

This is just absurd. That color is amazing, and not at ALL what magma looks like on the configurator. I think everyone in Lotus PR department is smoking crack all day long instead of working.

The point is unless you have a reference you don’t know what any of it “should” look like. Cameras do very funny things with color and saturation. I agree with eagle 7 that if anything points to it being a blue car it would be relative symmetry to the color cast vs the reflective source but...

Which one, might I ask?

As a photographer I continue to be amused at how little people understand camera metering and auto white balance. A grey car with a large highly lit blue led screen right behind it (don’t know what’s on the front side) looks blueish- who would have imagined…. As I have harped over and over...

They’ll order those right after they order the new raw water impellers for their 100 foot yacht. #fortheDIYbillionaires

Sounds great. What doesn’t sound great is the laughter from the Porsche salesman when you call and say you want to buy one.

I’m a fan of many things but never a fan boi. Used apple computers for 30 years but still diss them when they do something stupid like deleting magsafe or the headphone jack. Buy BMW but hate the new front End, looks like shit PLanning a lotus and am a fan, but Emira is underpowered - who...

Since I’ve been apparently been passed by FE (still no word from my dealer) I’m now consider waiting a bit. One of the things I liked a lot when I was looking at the Evora GT was the carbon roof 😍 and bits Is there any expectation of this being an option on Emira? Based on Evora history was...

LMAO, it's not a hatch and it's rear wheel drive; it's anything but a hot hatch. I think panties get in a twist here about competition. Don't own an M2, but certainly shopping one. Considered the GTS Porsche but looks are just not my thing and getting one is a bitch as well.

Sorry the point seemed to be “buy the lotus it’s better in the curves” and times would seem to argue against that. I get that we all buy cars that speak to us - that’s why I’m here and have a deposit. But I also respect bmw engineering- they make outstanding cars.

Truly happy for you but so many people in earlier not getting FE. process in USA is absurd.

Nurburgring: M2: 7.42.99 Cayman S: 7:47 Evora: 7:59 Lots of reasons to chose either, but don’t make up a world in which somehow Lotus is magically faster around the track than others.

M240i 0-60 3.6 seconds Per C&D, 4.1 per BMW 48K Still waiting for 2023 M2 data which will be much faster still at a price still way less than Emira, it may well get my purchase once announced if it’s not uglified like the M3/4. Needs and wants in the sports car realm are indeed ambiguous...

Guys. It’s stated to be close to 4.5 sec 0-60. It needs more power. Bmw 1/2 the price is much faster Track, blah blah. But in this day a car that looks like this having that slow of acceleration is just underpowered. 450-500 would be perfect.

I think deciding which woman to marry was easier than picking an Emira build.

@TRX250EX - wow, just wow. Truly an amazing series of cars. If you ever feel the need to adopt an otherwise financially independent adult, DM me :)

Standard disclaimer takes care of that.

That is a really good price for ppf. Here it’s probably 8-10k USD for paint prep and full ppf

The majority of KEF stuff is not either, though for mid-level speakers they are a value and the uni-q drivers are generally well received. They certainly have the capacity to deliver a great system, but like almost any 3rd party integration it comes down to what the spec was they were asked to...

let’s pause for a second and really think about that. Geely investing 9 figures into a company and the folks in charge of a world-wide road show high lighting the car that has generated the most interest EVER in the brand can’t manage to have an extra of a 6” wide leather disk? If one went...

LOL, The KEF stuff that is going in cars is not made like the high end audophile equipment. KEF makes equipment at all price points from el cheapo to upper range, but there are certainly much higher quality audio quality than KEF. -ANY- audio system you get in a car at this price point will be...

I’ve always been treated well by bmw. Delivery experience in Germany was amazing and drivers experience in the states was also excellent. They make you feel important. This whole lotus treat your early adopters like shot is growing very tiring as they clearly just don’t give a shit at all

There exists such a magical place?

I was leaning yellow, then my 20 something daughter with a degree in design says “Dad, yellow is old man corvette color”. Now I might get the yellow one just to piss her off. R/kidsarestupid. :mad::cry::unsure::oops::rolleyes::cool:(y):coffee:

Yes but unlike Lotus you don’t have to take out your key to get into the car…..
