its certainly not a problem in the UK.. haha... Ok, I will go to your 8, but I wont raise you.... Ill call though... haha

a genuine question as I was distracted by the football while watching it..... DID he say he chooses the Emira over the 718 and 911.??? I may have missed it.... If you watch his videos on the 911, especially the touring, or the Cayman GTS I think he did as well as the RS, he generally finds...

Almost an echo of my opinions after track day. bad points the crappy screen on the dash....and info entertainment system is not up to par... seats dont keep you in laterally.....and ADS would be very nice if you drive abroad, shame it doesnt have it....wiper issue would hopefully be fixed in...

Good guesses, but as a finance guy, you have to be careful when guessing and do a bit more research haha Letterham 1 and 2... Not negative at all, romantic and fantasy..... very much Lotus like... :)

Its true...famous quote: sorry for the long letter, I didnt have time to make it shorter.. I hate editing... if I didnt, I would have 5 books published on amazon instead of 3

I do love a good nit pick yes.... and I do also wish for good luck being happy.. haha

not to be argumentative but the inevitable, come back, with you in a nice shade of green :) 1. You can’t benchmark a car that costs almost twice as much as the emira (GTS), that’s nonsense period. Nonsense??? In no country in the world is this true. In the UK the only real price we have is the...

Well, there are several factors at play and welcome to Sunday morning ranting.. Its not a 2 year wait list for a v6 FE manual, and never has been (although we can round it up and I have done so myself), its been about 65 weeks at one point, so thats about 1.3 years. With parts issues being...

9 I BELIEVE AND THE private last seller doesnt have a real photo? weird...... it is very much turning into what I recall happened with the all conquering Alpine..... "the best drivers car"...etc etc, but it didnt sell well and resold even worse...... there were always half a dozen unused for...

Im a polestar fan... never driven one, I'd like the SUV one.. but keen to see actual specs... looks nice though

I know what you are saying.... but I view things differently.. I think this is not a keeper, discussed elsewhere, so I may have it for 12/24 months. My total costs are...xxxx including the dreaded unknown, depreciation. And out of those 12/24 months at x costs per month, do I want Larini to...

or to rebrand the polestar 5 which looks great.... looks better than this..but this is surely an artists impression...or?

yes, its quite generic and boring for a Lotus / Geely product

I disagree entirely..... and thats probably the reason for many of the cancelations as monthly interest rates go up, which is a big factor in monthly costs. How many multimillionaires on here can afford not to even think about the monthly cost of their cars..houses...etc

So that makes it kind of tricky....... get a 2k exhaust, pay delivery and collection charges and insurance, depreciation over the potential month without the car, road tax (if dont sorn which they probably wont want you to...) Not sure its a good deal ....

well if reviews dont improve, quality issues disappear and residuals stay strong, it still may turn out to be needed,,,

I imagine not, but I suppose the first question is.... would this effect the warranty in any shape or form.....

well, you best get BACK to doing something productive....

Seems very strange that this dealer would not know that..... Possibly... just possibly, with so many...supposedly chosing to sell, maybe Lotus have had a change of heart and soul... probably not, we will see next week I guess.... nice colour though..shame about the wheels... haha

well, the obvious answer is a car that has fundamentally remained unchanged through most of our lives... ie the original defender (I had one and for me is not for ever, but for some it is) But the true forever car, for those not too cool to have one... is a caterham.... I believe thats as close...

and no driving... haha

I did say Bentley and RR asside and german owned and organised, so quite different and the nissan plant again, not UK owned and more machines than people id guess

oh dear... still there will be a big ramp up in Jan/Feb, so I dont think there should be too many down the line knock on delays.... Can they still be having parts issues, or is it now quality???? We will never know....... I dont think other companies are having similar issues, with delays on...

well......isnt the design done by Lotus at hethel......? Wont most of the engineering be done by Lotus? Helped by their German site.... Testing does seem to be in CHINA...this is true and certainly manufacturing is, but IMO I am at the point now where I think I would prefer manufacturing and QC...

Just to say, and I dont always complain, despite reservations to the contrary...funnily enough by people who also complain.. haha. I got my invoice today..... now I could complain, as its an invoice, and no one wants an invoice... BUT...my point is, I got it 20 days before my car is due. This...

or the average weight, activity, steps per day, sports and stretching.. maybe we should start yoga classes for lotus drivers

I didnt see any extra *'s for this extra option... on the FE

they will if the sellers are patient... but those that break and take only 4 5 6k will ruin it for everyone, current sellers and longer term sellers too, but well, you cant control it, unless someone buys the surplus supply up ;)

it will settle down... if prices stay high, I cant see why lotus would want to get involved.......

one of them is 2023, so Im guessing no.. one of them is physically present clearly from the photos, the others are in between and not delivered...

Its strange there is a deposit taken on the car that does not exist yet in anyones hands and no deposit on the slightly cheaper one that is there for real. Maybe they negotiated the price a bit more... I did always say that yellow would sell for less, but the cowardly custardly yellow fans told...

as this is my thread, can I delete what you said about the rear? haha I mean the rear on its own is fine... although its very much like the KIA EV, but it doesnt fit with the aggressive front.... lambo type..oh well.... I hope they get their Electric sports car right!

Im not that interested and it doesn't look that great so far...I pray it doesnt take the ugly rear end from the Eletre, which is not totally shown up by the new Ferrari 4 door car.... Not the same sector I know, but that is a GOOD looking car and the Eletre is half a decent looking car, until...

Id say your quite safe in your assumption... 2nd..3rd...4th week of jan.. dont worry, there will be no ruined sex by coming too soon with Lotus

ironically KITT.... knight rider fame.. could not be bought as a kit....

maybe you were too busy to notice? haha

Yes I read it and the overall message I took was there is no need for a break in procedure..... no noticeable difference.... a couple of hours at best and thats it. Enjoy it...I believe thats what they said.. "breaking it in for eight or so hours resulted in an increase in output of just about...

one of my dogs watches the tv..the other watches me..... i guess I am more interesting and beautiful... or the one who provides the food... ill make my own mind up thank you. haha

I wish my dogs would fit in the damn thing... which they nearly do, but one of them for sure would get sick..and that would not go down well.... the opposite in both respects

I fully agree.... Only if Lotus increase prices by about 10% will there be any chance of not loosing a good 10% and more next year. I too doubt it will be a life keeper, but the way Im going, not sure anything will ever be.... especially not the wife... probably stick with the dogs though
