    i4 FE - When are we going to see it? Getting annoyed

    I have been telling myself that since I got the last build month to keep expecting more slippage. TBH, until I see i4's out there being demo'd and reviewed I am struggling to even believe the i4 is happening. I keep looking at the V6's coming up for sale and am tempted.

    i4 FE - When are we going to see it? Getting annoyed

    Sorry, I did not ask about pricing. I am in the UK and the new prices are in place for all the i4's.

    Leonard is long gone, he went for the no tint option, well the no car option really.

    The 13 Emira Colors

    I used the web chat just now and they confirmed that my build date remains unchanged as Sept 2023 which is a relief.

    The 13 Emira Colors

    Just got an email that is confusing me, what does production start in 2024 refer to? The base models? My i4 last communication was set for Sept 23 build

    i4 power

    OK then, hands up who chose the i4 because of the way turbo 4's sound?

    Now $105k in the USA. I’m not seeing the value

    Except they are still affected seriously. Yes massive companies like VW or Toyota or Ford can still get some stuff out the door but with big delays and limited options list. The big German three have 12 month delays for basic models and even longer for fancier stuff. My company is tiny but has...

    Prices increase update from Lotus - and stopping of reservations for V6 FE

    That seems to be true more or less. The first V6 cars delivered were Sept 2022 I believe to the Netherlands. My i4 is due Sept 2023 and I think there are a couple of folks with slightly earlier dates

    Prices increase update from Lotus - and stopping of reservations for V6 FE

    Yup. I am a pragmatist by nature and tend to the positive but it is a trying if somewhat expected message. Still in the greater scheme of things it is a minor upset. We are all gloriously privileged to be able to afford an £80k ish car as a plaything. Nobody here will be missing a mortgage...

    Prices increase update from Lotus - and stopping of reservations for V6 FE

    i4 FE deposit 8th July 2021 at 9pm. I get the new increased price despite being amongst the first i4 cars..... sigh Still in, I cannot afford the cost uncertainty of a McLaren, want a sports car so not an Aston, R8 looks like a TT. A 911 GTS is possibly the only alternative but they are...

    i4 power

    Also , if you watch the drag races with the Merc and Audi etc (different cars), the Merc is extremely close to the Audi. Certainly not 40 bhp behind. I tend to believe the owner that not all was right with the Merc.

    i4 power

    If you read the comments, the car had a fault according to the owner and will be retested hopefully.

    I4 Delivery Estimate w/ a Dec. 22 Order (USA)

    Not in the US but my 8th July 2021 deposit for an i4 is currently estimated at an August 2023 delivery in the UK. I have heard one person got quoted July delivery. Not quite sure if that helps much.

    Emira Car Covers

    I have no garage available or space for a car port but plenty of front drive space. I was intending to go the cover route but a little concerned over the paint damage experiences. Maybe ppf and ceramic coating and a cover would be fine? Or is ppf and ceramic, the cover is unnecessary? Any...

    Is This For Real?

    As stated above, this is a cash grab by the Scottish gov.

Get your £1000 ticket for...

    Emira Forum Previous Car History - What automotive brand are you coming from?

    I am not replacing anything with the Emira. It will be my first "spare" car since I was about 19. I have had company cars since then and never had the spare cas for a plaything. My wifes car was always the fun car, string of Saab Turbo's then BMW 335i M235i. Never had a proper "sports car" but...

    I'm in - the buyers thread

    I am very much in for an i4 due August ish. Thank you for creating this although like in real life I am sure good/positive posts will prove much less popular that the moaning thread(s). I confess I find the forum in general very depressing reading currently with some good reasons for sure.
