    Southern California?

    I don't know if its full black pack and I was told it was a black leather interior. My sales guy texted me yesterday because he knows I want Nimbus and a manual. I'm currently deciding between a red or alcantara with yellow stitch. Im currently leaning red.

    Southern California?

    For those interested Galpin has a Nimbus tester with a manual now. I wont see it till Sunday but I figured I would let those know who only have test driven the auto they previously had.

    I've figured it out...

    The most similar looking Ferrari looks like the Tributo IMO.

    New member - Meridian FE2 Emira - Tampa Bay area.

    Meridian is one of those paints that's hard to picture and capture on a screen so I suspect its getting a low take rate. Its seems to be dark verdant but blue. I think it will be really cool in person and in the sun but its a gamblers color until there are some in the wild. What did you pick...

    Nimbus shows the creases along the door better than any other paint.

    Gator Visit / Test Drive

    That atlantis is looking pretty good back there. I wonder what the take rates would have been if that was an FE1.0 color. I also love the way Nimbus makes the body creases look so sharp.

    Anyone seen Nimbis/Ice combo in real life?

    Its a very light grey. Its not Tesla white but its more white than grey.

    Anyone seen Nimbis/Ice combo in real life?

    I think it looks really good and would actually get it myself if I wasn't certain that I would wreck those seats by wearing jeans. The tester I drove had the ice interior and the many prior test drives beat it up pretty bad. I know they don't maintain it like a normal owner would but it scared...

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Got any pics showing both nimbus and the interior? Also how's the Alcantara feel? The samples from lotus make it feel pretty thin. Right now I'm planning Nimbus, full black pack, yellow calipers and black al with yellow stitch but I cant finalize till the new configurator is out and I also...

    Anyone's dealer make them sign an agreement not to sell the car within X months?

    Just don't sign that form. If its attached to another form you need to sign redline it and initial the cross out. Make copies of everything you send them. Better yet, redline in a clause that they will pay double the value of any offer received .

    Scratched the knob

    Since you have a backup I'd just polish it and see how it comes out. You can always paint or bring it to a shop to bead blast if it comes out bad.

    What is the difference in looks between a GT4 and stand Emira?

    How does the rear hatch open on the GT4? Does the wing come up with the hatch even though its on the outside or does the hatch fully detach and slide out from under the wing?

    Thanks. That looks good. I was worried it would be too much yellow but I like it.

    From Deposit to Order Timeframe

    I have been told that my spec cant be finalized until the new base configurator goes live. All the FEs are gone so the current configurator is technically outdated.

    Can you take a picture with the glass down over the engine. How much of the yellow makes it through the privacy glass?

    For Sale - (US - FL) Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira (1028 miles)

    Congrats on fatherhood, kids are way better than a car and you can always get another car later. Can you upload some of those photos to the nimbus picture thread. They show the warmth really well on my screen.

    Any mist white with red leather spec out there?

    That is a really great spec. I really love that red interior.

    Red starter button cover

    I really like this. I wish they would have just went with yellow from the factory. Matched to exterior paint color would have been a cool option too. Perhaps they'll do that on Chapman spec cars.

    registration charge upon purchase

    When you get the car to CA they will make you VIN check it and smog it even with a CA emissions sticker since it was bought out of state. At the VIN check they are supposed to ensure you paid the correct amount of tax. Be careful though they aren't smart and have tried to get me to pay more in...

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    I think that's some camera color balancing action. I think it yellowed the SUV to balance against the blue sky and blued the car to pop from the CMU. Look at the pavement in both shots. Its the same in the overall shot but different in the individuals

    I spun my Pontiac Solstice out on Streets of Willow with the top down once. Its quite disappointing watching all that sand land in your interior. It took months for the vents to stop sandblasting me whenever I turned on the A/C.

    Why would you buy a new Emira in the UK?

    The UK car market is a bit depreciation crazy for any sorts of sports/supercar right now although to be honest I don't see the Emira as an investment unless you are willing to hold onto it until they stop making them and Porsche does a new gen of Cayman/Boxster without a manual. EDIT: I should...

    Southern California?

    Ive got a refundable deposit into Galpin and I am finalizing spec today after work. I was told MSRP and a year wait. That seems pretty implausible if they are really multi-hundreds deep in orders. I'm cool with waiting as the more crypto goes up the less of my real accounts will get touched...

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    Well I don't have one myself but I have always seen Nimbus as a warm silver changing from silver to a champagne depending on lighting. I haven't ever seen anything that makes it look purple. Osmium silver is on the cooler side of silver and tends to look blueish to me.

    I'm Doing My Due Diligence This Weekend

    My credit isn't good enough to take the GT3 they had out on a drive. They did let me sit in it though and it did have a manual. It was silver over a black mixed black alcantara and leather interior with blue stitching throughout.

    Is it ideal to sit low in these cars ?

    I am 5'10" which means I can usually sit in anything however I want to. I generally sink the seat as low as possible out of personal preference. Just pick what's best for you.

    So they sold the Cayman on Saturday so I didn't get to drive it but they did have a 2021 Boxster GTS 4.0 25th anniversary package I could drive. From the minute I sat down I could tell the fit and finish was significantly better than Lotus. This particular car had red leather and the 25th...

    I think people have reported the black badges on 1.0s and 2.0s at this point. I almost wonder if its related to getting the full black pack or not.
