It looks like theres going to be at least packages differences between the UK version and the US version. The UK pricing is out for base and going through it their options read a lot more like the FE configurator than the current US configurator.

This is in line with what I received form my dealer. I was told books will open up a little sooner (this week or next) but that the base price will be 99k and deliveries will be around April. I have been checking for pricing on the site ever since. Still nothing as of this morning. There's a...

I imagine given their source the v6 is likely less expensive to source. Its generally lower tech and was produced in larger numbers although now Toyota is no longer using it so maybe its the same or more now.

Oh no. That looks harsh and the new tech sounds ridiculous. Nothing presented in that wired article is about it driving good and its all about flashy stupid electronics and lack of actual seats. Was there no one in the room that raised their hand and brought up the fact that this all sounds...

EDIT: I should have read the email better. It appears from the GMs email that orders will reopen "next week" with orders expected in come next April. So I guess that's news for the rumor mill. Still no pricing info. Maybe this week?

I just got an email to finalize my order for a base V6 from Galpin this weekend. While the configurator is up pricing is still in complete limbo with everything needing to be selected by options. I would like a fully optioned car but to be honest I don't care so much about the headliner, sport...

For one they are certainly going to make more but even if they didn't the Emira will be a depreciating asset for quite some time. Its not an investment car. There are lots of V6 Emiras sitting on lots and dealers are starting to stack on incentives to buy them. Its almost never worth buying a...

I like Zaino Z-6 https://www.zainostore.com/product/Z-6.html They also have really nice leather cleaner and conditioner.

I'd like to see them do a hybrid Emeya to walk back their dependence on slow selling EVs but it will probably just be a announcement for the EV Emira. Lotus likes to hype years in advance and with Emira ending in 2026 it seems likely. Although who knows maybe we'll get lucky and get an Emira S...

The configurator seems to be fully functional now. I'm basically specing a car with the same options as an FE except I'm going for that extended black pack for the black lettering. Still bummed about no touring suspension though. Depending on cost I may cheap out on headliner because I don't...

Bah the pictures don't work for this configurator either. Lotus configurators are really buggy.

The configurator refuses to load the pictures for me so I haven't seen the new wheels.

I missed the FE wave and am pretty bummed to miss out on touring spec with all the drive goodies. I do like that I can get the black lettering on a non black pack car though. I hope they don't raise pricing too much. I don't think they can since there's a bunch of FEs sitting on lots right...

Not sure why you would be disappointed. The FE version is objectively better with the availability of the mode selector in touring spec. The only better option here is getting the extended black pack for black letters. Everything else is the same for likely more money.

I traded in a 2016 Chevy SS sedan with a manual back in 2019. Objectively it was a good trade in at the time but its the only car I've ever really missed. It was wonderful to drive and a lot of fun when picking up the kids.

How dark is the privacy glass in terms of tinting. Is it like a 30% or like a 15%?

I have only driven touring and it seemed fine over city like bumps. Whether right or wrong my salesman put me into an Evora GT as an example of what sport was like and it was noticeably harsher around city type bumps and imperfections. I decided to go with touring for this reason. Its also...

If all their other options are EVs it seems to me that they could still keep a smaller ICE car like the Emira going for awhile.

Of those choices I would try to get the first wheel in a gold color. If the car is blue, red, or green it will look good with gold wheels.

I don't think anyone is asking for it in the interior here. Gloss black exterior elements are just like black paint. Those forged parts look great.

Anyone working on some forged carbon offerings? I saw a Performante a few weeks back and it reminded me how great that stuff looks.

Great shot. I was just down in SD this past weekend picking up our new rescue pup.

I'm intrigued by how many of you chose the RF Miata over the regular vert. To me the regular vert top is so easy to use there's no need for a power top especially when you lose some of the open air feeling. Of course I own a Pontiac Solstice GXP so I have learned to live with sub optimal top...

Shadow gray looks boring in photos and it is really dark but I saw one in person at the dealer and its a really nice paint. That said I still think the lighter shades are better on the Emira to show all the great creases and curves.

Ive seen zinc grey and think its a pretty nice color. In general I think the lighter colors do more to highlight the Emira lines than the darker ones do. Personally I was a bit underwhelmed with Seneca when I first saw it. It didn't pop enough for me. I like the color shifts of Nimbus the...

I dont have my Emira yet but when I drive stick I dont down shift every gear. If Im tooling around town at low speeds and hit a red light ill just depress the clutch till stopped and then shift it into neutral while I wait. I was told a long time ago to not keep the clutch depressed as it...

Looks a bit too aggressive for me but it does make me think that the Emira would look great in Verde Ithaca

Well I certainly hope that the v6 manual will continue on. I have no interest in an auto version. Keeping my fingers crossed.

That first picture does a great job showing off the color and shadowing of Magma. Its a really nice shot.

This is the answer. Put your head over the center console and adjust the passenger mirror so you just see the edge of the car. Then put your face next to the drivers window and adjust the mirror to show just the edge of the car. Of note the drivers mirror needs to be at maximum for this but...

Depending on the color chosen the configurator will let you select 1st edition V6. Seems Shadow, Atlantis, seneca, meridian, and zinc allow for the v6 as of typinmg this comment. Edit also forcing the website to the v6-first-edition site allows all the colors to still be configured.

Is this available somewhere?

I've been told numerous times that my base order will be at MSRP. I'm assuming any ADM is based off orphan cars. You can probably negotiate it down. Ive been checking their inventory regularly. If that HY one had the black calipers I might have tried to snag it.

I grew up in Hamlin NY and my father and I used to drive down to Charlotte Beach in the summers to street race people at the end of the parkway. Schaller's is also my favorite burger in Rochester and I always hit the one at the beach when I'm back in town.

I cant afford a bitcoin Lambo but I can get a bitcoin Lotus. In all honesty my financial justification for this comes from a combo of crypto and selling off my current garage queen (07 Solstice GXP). Ill still have a loan for around 40k which is within my comfort zone. Of course if crypto...

I'm hoping for even more paint colors. I want some orange and purple action.

These oil change prices are a real bummer. I would expect a higher cost than a Toyota but these numbers are all flirting with 4 digits and that's just greedy. I guess the silver lining is that its a great excuse to buy some new tools.

I was at Galpin this weekend and they have a Shadow, Hethel and VD in stock up in their Lotus room. The shadow looks great in person. The site doesn't list pricing for them so I assume its over MSRP.

Los Gatos has a DV showing in inventory online. Not sure if its still available but I know this is a hot spec to have. https://www.lotuslosgatos.com/2024/Lotus/Emira/SCCLEKAX2RHB11901

Those Nimbus photos are amazing. He caught the range of color shift really well.
