Potential build slots coming up for the Carrera 911 T Potentially May delivery my Emira is currently June but that could mean Christmas, a really tough decision knowing both could let me down but more likely to be Lotus. Or take the Emira and hold out for the 992 gen 11 at the end of the...

A definite keeper and superior to the Emira.

Super impressive, hat off

I reckon the dog told him to get rid of it as its a proper bone shaker.

it’s true Porsche do speak to you like shit but they communicate and give you a straight answer, where as Lotus are the polar opposite they are very polite but don’t communicate. I feel sorry for Lotus CS they simply don’t have the answers. Porsche’s order book is stacked full forever so do they...

Sounds like you’ve been using Tinder…

CS told me it's a minimum 2 week delay for everyone so I suppose thats moving some people into the next month. Still very quiet on the delivery front, hopefully we will see some more in the next couple of week's. Fingers crossed.

Moderator's can you add the throw up emoji please... lol

I think they were referring to the looks.

Tom can you tell us more about these bacon rolls? I think these bacon rolls should get their own thread?

when was your deposit John?

What was your deposit date?

I’m in as long as my car is delivered by May anything later and the Lotus dream is over.

Ade With your change of circumstances are you thinking of going for a 911?

I couldn’t have said this better myself, “Brilliant” I’m exactly the same, I won’t go another summer without a nice car.

The earliest V6 auto dates I have seen are March build April delivery not sure if anyone has seen earlier? My own car latest update is April build May delivery, I really don't hold much hope with the latest delays on the manual cars but let's see, at some point in 2023 Lotus will get their shit...

I agree Matt is in big trouble, if I were Lotus I would be all over you on Monday morning trying to appease this situation ensuring you are given Lotus undivided attention your also an Eletre depositor for god sake. Mike just stop for a second don't jump the gun and let Lotus try and resolve...

Sorry to hear that, that's actually awful, seeing that you paid up and are within your 30 days notice are you not stuck with the car? If it ever turns up of course.

Congratulations gentlemen, There will be more staff members than posters soon.

A PCP deal is the perfect solution for helping you live above your means 😎

9.9APR is imminent with the recent Bank of England rate rise but the stronger residual will be welcome for finance buyers at least with their monthly payments anyway.

We can only keep our fingers crossed and hope all the secondhand information we are getting is inaccurate and Lotus are ready for 2023. I myself would already be out of the Emira if I had found a suitable replacement. I’m still car shopping but refuse to pay the inflated prices that are still...

Lotus will get it right trust me Geely won't have it any other way, we might still be a year or so off thou.

The only time to get excited about the I4 and V6 Auto will be when you actually see one physically being reviewed on YouTube or somewhere else, the other thing is wait to see them on the insurance websites at that point they will have type approval and shouldn't be to far away. Im guessing we...

Yep 3k cars in 2023 at best, that's 7k Emira customers without car in 2023 , so that's a good 2 years to clear the backlog and new deposits that will be placed in 2023. Don't be surprised to see the I4 and V6 auto pushed right back to end of 2023/early 2024 Hang on ain't we already been waiting...

Top man for your honesty but honesty in the car industry rarely exists, look what’s happened. Anyway if you are definitely back in for the Emira in 2/3 years you better get your deposit in now 😉

Im surprised with only 100 or so cars going out so far in the UK that this many cars are for sale, that's around 10% being flipped I hoped this trend doesn't keep in 2023.

Tony does speak out of his arse he hates every car in the whole world except Ferrari's and BMW's surprising that when he's a car salesman. He wanted to go in on the Emira from the start and then contradicted himself by saying its just an old crappy Lotus and then saying they had to improve it to...

The 992 T is an excellent choice but Porsche still don't have a single build slot for 2023 so could be in for a long wait. But hey ain't that what we've all been doing for the last 2 years.

Remember the Emira FE will be the sensible version the later version's will be the track weapon's, they have had to leave room in the tank for some decent upgrades. I'm guessing these versions will be 911 money thou.

Ive owned a 992s cayman 718s and been lucky enough to spend a fair bit of time in an Emira, my view is if you can afford the extra money and your looking for a long term keeper go for the 911 T you won't be disappointed. If you want to turn heads and want a brilliant weekend toy then its the...

I agree i'm just not sure if all the people on the test drive list will be willing to wait 2 years for a car. Its a shame Lotus are still selling it as a 60 week wait.

The PDK 911 T will do 0-60 in 3.8 sec the Cayman S 4.3 second and sounds like a lawn mower.

I can't speak on behalf of Emira buyers but speaking to my Porsche dealer 80% of all their cars are purchased on finance, that is now on a massive slow down. It seems there is a higher rate of cash buyers for the used market, not sure why that is.

Dealers will be in no rush to lower the price I'm sure they will wait it out until the spring, speaking to Lotus they are confident of building 800 cars a quarter so that's 3,200 cars for 2023 worldwide (what happed to the 4,800 cars a year) Thats not a lot of cars worldwide and if that...

The Emira seems to be a 5k over car at best, all them cars sitting close to 100k are going nowhere this winter. Tony you're right the car buyer looking for finance simply won't be able to afford the so called second hand Emira, second hand residuals will be much lower and interest rates much...

V6 Auto box builds start in March believe it when I see it.

We will be saying the same next Christmas.

If they can throw an auto box in it I'll take it.. lol

Basically its an email saying season's greetings from Lotus, please leave us alone on the following date's
