Had an M2 up till a couple of months ago (beautiful long beach blue paint), but got the itch for something more sporty, so I picked up a 718 Cayman S the morning❤️❤️❤️
Yeah, I’d been asking about switching to a V6 to get one sooner, but not committed, so suspect that’s what’s happened - hard to believe that they’ll be delivering I4s this year.
Just received this. Previous comms suggested it would be well into 2023 - would be excited if I hadn’t got bored of waiting and literally THIS MORNING bought a 718🙈
Confirmed - I had misunderstood - won’t get the car quicker if I switch to a V6🙁. I’ll put my optimist back in his box. Now where was that thread about what car to get to fill the gap?…😜
I recently asked CS if I could get an Emira sooner by switching to a V6 FE (I’m down for an i4 FE currently). Was put on hold for a few weeks and received exactly the same email as th OP this morning. I had interpreted it as ‘yes, you’ll be able to get your car based on where you were in the...
I got a swift reply from Lotus Customer Care who confirmed that my email means delivery sometime in 2023, they’ll confirm a date early 2023😢 (11th July order)
I also chased access to the configurator for my I4 FE and they sent me a link (along with a request for another £3k).
Now I’ve calmed down and read it again, I don’t know whether it’s saying they hope my car will be completed early 2023, or in early 2023 they will confirm when it will be completed (so could be December 2023). I’ve emailed them to get clarification.
I put my deposit down 11th July, holding out for an i4. Just received this from Lotus. Probably means another year wait😬. Think I’ll get something else in the meantime.
Shadow grey not too popular - I’m the only person who’s indicated they’re going for it so far. And I’m only picking it because it’s the best base for a custom wrap😂
Just got my call (put my deposit down on 11th July). After confirming I wanted to wait for an i4, the call was over in less than 60 seconds - I’ll have to wait for a callback - probably end of the year / new year to spec my car😢
I picked up two bits of additional information for the reps there:
1) expectation is that we will be able to spec the TDC stripe on the steering wheel on FEs.
2) i4 FE is expected to be priced at £75k on the road.
