That is the exact definition of weak. Who cares what he posts. Ignore it. Who cares. IF the EMIRA checks off all the boxes for you and makes you happy, then why would you even care what he posts. Are you buying the car for yourself ? or are you buying it because others are also buying it and...

I have to say, lots of weak people here, so fearful of an opposing point of view. Very emotional. On the lotustalk forum a poll was taken of those with deposits and around 35% cancelled their orders after pricing was announced in USA. Remember those are fans who lurk on these forums, and does...

If you bothered to do just a tiny bit of homework to look at his/her previous posted texts, you would easily see that it was already disclosed the LOTUS dealership they work at...... DUH... not too hard to go back and find it ....Gentry Lane LOTUS..... YOU seem to be very angry and emotional...

So are we getting the base V6 price anytime soon ? I am loosing patience with this LOTUS brand....... I am waiting to see the car in person to decision if I stay or I go with my deposit.

In summary, we all want to see LOTUS succeed. Dealer employee's like HiddenLotus, me, and I am sure everyone else. If HiddenLotus was selling tons of these EMIRA, he would keep his mouth shut. BUT, HiddenLotus is only admitting what many long term lotus dealers have experienced already. EVORA's...

Interesting yet bizarre how you are so authoritarian in saying "enough". Comical. As far as LOTUS monitoring this site, and the two other LOTUS discussion sites you are so WRONG. I posted something on LotusTalk and LOTUS corporate answered on the site within a few mins. They also respond to...

HiddenLotus is a Lotus dealer sales person. If these figures don't indicate that LOTUS mis-priced the EMIRA, I don't know what else to say. What other car company do you know has such a high cancellation rate of people with substantial deposits for a new car ?

lets see how cocky and smart you are two years from now when these EMIRA are sitting on dealer lots unsold , even with discounts, just like the EVORA's. Once the " have to have, regardless of price" first adopters get theirs, lets see how these EMIRA sell.

I think that is obvious with the "888" in the price..... Chinese good luck.

Just the fact that so many here are voicing their options that the pricing is not competitive with other offerings in the market really shows that LOTUS got pricing off by a bit. And when a Canadian dealer confirms such a large volume of cancellations, it backs that up even more.

exactly, ......If I was told by my dealer or by LOTUS USA that the USA price for the First Edition was $94K USD PLUS $2k destination/shipping, I would have never given my local dealer a deposit. Would have never happened. I would have laughed in his face.

All true..... except many people put deposits due to the low teaser pricing whispers from LOTUS, and now that official pricing is much higher, many have sour grapes. This explains the negativity. Don't tease with verbal pricing, ask for $2500USD deposit, and then only after receiving a high...

OK, then I will use better verbiage,..... its a "bait and switch" slimy tactic.

you are actually wrong..... any dealer can take a deposit for a car that does not exist, and that may even never exist. Thats what dealers do every day, just like adding on $900 dealer prep fees, and $500 document fees. Dealers do that every day. I said manufacturers like GM will not take...

Actually does NOT make sense , to me.... this entire hidden waiting pricing is a scam.

you forgot to mention the low ball teaser pricing that never disclosed (for the longest) for which engine model, until just now. And the teaser price was only discussed, NEVER officially disclosed in written form, and this teaser price was only for the UK MARKET. Those of us in USA had to look...

I think many of you posting are being way too critical. BUT.... I think LOTUS should have just waited a bit longer to reveal the car, so that they would be able to show off finished production examples that are exact examples of what depositors are getting. SO far only two cars, the grey...

only 3 dealers in Canada and this is how they price the car.....

What does 888 mean in Chinese? In Chinese numerology, 888 usually means triple fortune, as s form a strengthening of the digit 8. On its own, the number 8 is often associated with great fortune, wealth and spiritual enlightenment. Hence, 888 is considered triple.
