Those are just holding spots for extras so when you inevitably break some somewhere else you have a spare.

They aren't being forced. Its just that cars from other countries are now going to cost more to get into the US so either manufacturers will have less margin on them or they will be less competitive on cost when put against American made cars. If an American wants a Japan made Lexus they are...

The big picture is that large scale manufacturers are going to need to run multiple factories on multiple continents to feed their biggest markets.

I don't have one but Ive seen a few in person and shadow grey is probably the most underrated color. It looks really good in person. I still think lighter colors show off the Emiras lines more but if I wanted dark I would get a shadow grey over verdant, cosmos or meridian.

Assuming they still have it when I pick up Galpin does an included extended powertrain warranty covering "ENGINE (Gas/Diesel), TURBO / SUPERCHARGER, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, MANUAL TRANSMISSION, DRIVE AXLE ASSEMBLY(Front & Rear), TRANSFER UNIT, TOWING REIMBURSEMENT, SEALS & GASKETS". I figure...

If the only way to disable it is to rely on the car automatically doing it I wouldn't even try.

You are not supposed to put rear facing seats in the front seat of a car. The air bag will mess it up big time in a crash.

That is unfortunate to say the least. To put that in without a manner to disable it is not cool. Especially when it functions through the existing system messing it up in the progress.

I have my phone in the left and wallet in the right. I put keys in the right with the wallet.

Yeah that definitely looks like some extra material that was there before paint and just needs to be pulled out. I would use a razor to cut any paint connecting the car from the tape before pulling.

I think for all you Britain folks the rule of thumb should be to avoid anything MY23 and probably the first half of MY24. Its generally good practice to avoid the first year of any all new car but that Lotus FE1 pricing was pretty sweet so I see how people jumped on it.

So if the dealer actually looked and didn't find a VIN yet your car doesn't exist. From what I've read the VIN is issued shortly before manufacture starts and certainly before its on a boat.

Google maps has better directions but Apple maps has way better voice guidance instructions. I only use apple for work though.

The dealer has to look for it though and it sounds like he's not getting any comms from them. I didn't get mine until I asked my sales guy if it existed. No dealer can give a straight answer about tariffs because they don't exist yet. They are not going to scare you off for something that...

In another thread about the new doors its mentioned that you can tell by the primer color on the interior of the door. They may have just switched primers to correct the issue. This would also correlate with them giving an end date for the initial problems.

That seems like a great deal on a new one. What part of the country was that in?

Looks like mine is in there. Time to start lining things up.

Nice. I bought from him as well. I flew in from CA and he picked me up in his white SS and even got me lunch while we waited for the paperwork to finish. Great guy.

I see you're in Texas. Did you get it from Myron at Classic?

I bought one as well in 2016. I went slipstream blue, manual, sunroof, no spare. That is the only car I ever regret selling. Tons of fun.

Keys go in the right pocket. The Emira key won't have any other keys attached to it.

Thats not McDonalds spec. That's Hulkamania spec.

I voted yes because I am. My spec works out basically at FE2.0 pricing though so there's no real difference. If you want magma or seneca with alcantara you are probably going to vote no. If you want vivid over black leather then you are likely to be getting a good deal. If you are in the...

Im VIN 220. I might be on that boat too.

Nice. I have my VIN now but no word on boats. Any way to know what VINs have shipped aside from bugging my dealer?

Its generally not cheap to get cars across long distances so it would make sense for Lotus to make the foreign delivery models with more options baked in to maintain more profit margin. A good example of this is practice was when GM would ship the VE Commodore to America as the Pontiac G8. The...

Logix is usually my go to for preapprovals. If the dealer can beat it Ill go with them but Logix is usually quite competitive. They are at 4.99 right now for 60 months. https://www.logixbanking.com/rates/vehicle-loans

Well I guess the good news is they added prices to the configurator. The bad news is they've been taking orders and issuing build sheets since September 24 for the 2025 cars and supposedly closed the order books for the V6 in 2025.

I don't see a video. You may need to post again.

I wonder if my car is sitting there half built during the shutdown.

Ive been on the edge on getting ppf because of the lotus paint issues but I think I might just have to get it after seeing how good these pictures look. Is everyone getting paint correction before application? How's the factory paint?

These pics look great. Are all the installers still doing the little cut at the top of the air intakes?

If seen a couple and Meridian looks really good in person. Its basically the blue version of DV so its hard to photograph. Its probably on the lower end of the orders for that reason but I think those that took the gamble are probably happy with it. Same with Shadow grey. SG looks pretty bad...

I mean the smile on the donkey pretty much sums up that its a joke. I like it. I don't think anyone who saw that in person would take it as a serious thing.

Whats the grille look like for the non KEF

This thread is full of so much great stuff. Thanks to everyone for putting all the pieces together.

Since they were already going crazy with the paint job they should have extended the upper portion on the hood. Make the center lines thicker to match and add the diagonals.

Your car is essentially factory detuned so It may be programmed to adjust parameters to never go over the 360.

Now I'm not saying I wouldn't want it for less money but the Evora in 2009 had an MSRP of around $73,000. Adjusted for inflation today that's around 108k. My ordered Emira spec is 109k and Id argue the Emira is a far better machine than the 2009 Evora yet essentially held to inflation.

Don't let accuracy get in the way of a proper pissing contest. Our cars all use the same questionable math so we can still compare.
