Agree, the facts and a report to Lotus is a start. Also, people need to report on Google reviews. Believe me when I tell you, they will loose ranking when a bunch of negatives come in. They are not the only exotic car dealer in Dallas.

I want a paddle shifter but I’ll order from somewhere else if I have to. I’ll probably get ceramic coating and a basic PPF in the front but it will be because I chose it; I’ve come to far in life to be bullied by a vendor.

So the purchase contract, when you confirm your order, says you must select a ceramic or PPF option from Expel (the in-house provider) or you can not order a vehicle? Is Lotus OK with that? I’m a depositor at Dallas and if that’s the case I’ll purchase elsewhere. I don’t care if it’s another...

Can we get to 600 pages before the first warranty issue is the real gamble

I mean if it was a Cosworth

Any state really, it should be about $17-20 per thousand financed for 60 months. My credit union: East Texas Professional is offering 66-84 months @5.75%. $14.50 per thousand financed. Not bad really.

Supercar loans can go as high as 30 yrs. That said if you are buying a car that depreciates slowly, like a Lotus, and plan on selling/trading at the warranty expiration it’s not THAT bad.

Our old Moderator TomE has a thread going. Kinda quiet since the EU folks are a year plus into ownership. I bet we can liven the joint back up: https://www.emiraforum.com/forums/lotus-emira-problems-and-issues.37/

I think Santander is the preferred option for Factory Financing but that’s it. I’m hoping Lotus will offer the 50/50 option like they do in UK.

Before we get to page 500 I just want to throw out there - when do you think we’ll hear about FE automatics? Zero points for anyone who says “soon”. That’s basic.

What about the bonnet from the GT4; same fitment?

If it’s like TX the first space is “free”. Not that I would choose the below design but it illustrates the effect and it is available if anyone in the lone star state wants to give it a go…..

👍

Send that to Lotus Dallas. The FB groups say that Earth Motor Cars isn’t releasing them yet for some reason. Not sure how true; anyone pick up at Dallas yet or any Texas dealer?

And likely true

Yea, he’s got a nice house.

Jag, no. Wife’s wants a Porsche.

A mini and a Rover, that’s the same as my garage. Green and black too.

The bitterness will come when Lotus releases the Emira S in 12 months or so

Yea, I have a sneaky suspicion it was for something stupid like how sensitive the computer is to detecting a evap leak if the filler cap isn’t closed all the way or anything mundane like that.

Big if true…….maybe these poor cars can get out of the weather:

So they could implement it “soon”

I’m curious about the 1st service interval - in your video it has over 5k miles; I was understanding that a service was required after the break in period. Is that just overkill?

Damn!

I took that to mean that they had resubmitted with new information on Feb 12th and expected a response/approval in 30 days.

Can you say more about your experiences with the power of the car.

Facts

In Dallas they were doing some paint correction as part of the PDI. All in all the cars looked good. I wonder if we’re making more of a deal out of the paint.

And the reason I selected an Emira deposit vs a 2021 Evora GT. If I knew then……

I love how mini keeps the hood scoop for an electric car. Hope that’s waterproof

See, that’s why I talk myself out of it every time……I daily these things.

The 570 vs GT debate lives rent free in my head

Right. I seriously considered a ‘22 McLaren GT yesterday. ~$50k more than my Emira spec. My brain [wallet] talked some sense back into me.

There is a forum member in UK that has the McLotus spec. Posted some pictures a while back. Something to keep in mind is the caliper color red or yellow doesn’t match the interior or exterior red and yellow. Kinda sucks.

Agree here. If I’m going to full wrap a car I’m going to play with the colors a bit. If the paint is as 💩 as everyone says I’m tempted to order the base “free” color and use the savings to wrap it Exige Orange or something.

Fingers crossed!!!🤞

The second year Evora was more powerful than the First Edition and a lot of people were pissed off. With a little luck Lotus will do it again.
