    No I agree, lotus asked to look at the car take it to them. The time it sits at your home is on you. Never take delivery of a vehicle with known defects… The wiper issue is something that will be addressed at the first service with a program update…The AC issue is something that needs to be...

    How bad will the Emira depreciation be?

    700 + 600 is not a flood.. That’s about 25 per state… if everyone sells… I think it will always a rare… like the alpha Romeo 4C. average depreciation on exotic cars runs about 14%.. Caymans & Boxsters about 4-5 % lotus should be somewhere in that range…

    How bad will the Emira depreciation be?

    Porsche’s don’t depreciate much, and limited models sometimes don’t deprecate at all the spider & GT4, targa. Presently NA market is sitting on 2 years of orders, assume that 30% will drop out that is still a health demand. I believe it will lose some after a year, but for the first 700 units...

    Emiras advertised for sale on other sites

    Waiting for a magma red in the US. I think the North American market will be a little different than UK and Europe. 1. They have worked out some of the bugs… It will be over a year of production before deliveries start. 2. Much greater market and will take a greater quality to saturate &...

    Emiras advertised for sale on other sites

    Have they been selling over sticker price in the UK? In the US they add sales tax and over fees which increases the cost by 6 to 8 %… I would be interested to know… Some YouTuber in Canada states that cars are not hitting reserve… What is the market doing now?

    Is it idiotic to get a Lotus if a Lotus dealership is 400 miles away?

    That’s good to know, I live 250 from my porsche dealership and the pay for a flatbed. I was wondering about lotus. I am 350 miles from the lotus dealership. Hoping that by the time they ship US cars most of the bugs have been fixed.

    Everyday Driver Review - Emira/Cayman GTS/C8

    Have a 2015 Boxster GTS drove a Evora GT and really enjoyed it also drove the Emira in Houston, beautiful, captivating Gorgeous. The drive was to short to really make a judgement. Nothing stud out as a flaw. Looking forward to owning both and hopefully making the same comment!

    Everyday Driver Review - Emira/Cayman GTS/C8

    Interesting all North American reviews have rated the Emira better than other countries. We must be looking through a different perspective. All understand that lotus is different, special and unique and not for everyone, a last hurrah for driving!

    I am purchasing an Emira because I always loved they way they drive but couldn’t live with the Shanty interior. Loved how the Evora drives. Mesmerized by the Emira’s looks and Ergonomically. Will keep the my convertible Porsche GtS and will park the Emira FE next to it. Fortunately I don’t have...

    Depreciation/Appreciation on New Lotus Emiras

    There is a huge problem that these flipped don’t get, financing is killing thier sale. In the UK it seams that prices are more constrained due to the size of the market. The North American market will also be pressured by rising interest rates and inflation which is squeezing everyone budget...

    What's the appeal? (Emira and Porsche)

    To your original question the cayman and Emira are so close in specifications that’s it’s impossible that the are not being cross shopped. What sets them apart? Porsche’s are reliable, well put together, and the benchmark by which most cars are measured. On the downside the lack sensual...
