Yes, I was told by my dealer last week the same thing that I would have to lock down my final spec by early January ‘23 for a late summer build. Seems a long way off now but life seems to move at a crazy pace and all of a sudden your car is ready for delivery. I always think on the positive side...

When I talked to my dealer last week (on the phone actually!) he said that I would be able to spec my base V6 in the next month so based on what he knows it sounds as though the autumn target will be met (hopefully). I was hoping originally for a FE V6 but since he said I wouldn’t be able to get...

And that’s why I have my backup lic plate for my backup Lotus. I’ll be ready to drive whether the flavour of the day is gas or electricity. Come on Lotus, get building something!

Classic! And since the snow will fly sooner than later here...

Also, my dealer (Gentry - Canada) told me this week that they would be getting an Emira in for a couple of days before the great white north turns white and hopefully a rep from Lotus too. He also confirmed that I will be able to provide my spec for my car before the demo Emira lands in Canada...

Thank you for the welcome. Looking forward to introducing my new Emira to all you Emira club members on both sides of the 49th.

On a related note. I talked to my sales rep today to confirm whether I would get a FE. The simple answer is no because they are receiving 12 FEs and I’m number 39 on their list. I think I may need to set my phaser to stun (I won’t use the kill setting as it’s only a fake setting anyway) and head...

WOW, there are not only Lotus fans on this forum but excellent sleuths as well. I’ve waited all my “lived long and prosperous life” for a car like this and I hope I can make it to the finish line and still be able to pilot it myself. Hope to meet you all at the first annual Canadian Emira Club...

I certainly do!

Cool plate option, but not cool that you can’t grab a plate ahead of time. I’ve got my plates already for the Emira and C8 Z06.

My paperwork states “Bill of Sale” at the top, the $$$ amount under a line labeled “Deposit”, and a hand written note saying “Lotus Emira Special Order”. It’s all guesswork and speculation at this point.

That’s interesting. Damn laws and taxes. Time will tell how it all shakes out. Has the day come where we need to hire a lawyer to purchase a car? Take care.

The simple answer is that I have not been told about the luxury tax by my dealership at all. According to the tax law, the dealership pays the luxury tax when importing and selling an automobile. The dealership then passes that cost on to the purchaser. Since I haven’t actually paid the total...

It seems patience is a virtue in the world of Emira. Still looking forward to my yellow and black Emira but in the meantime I’ll have to be content to use my existing items which are in the same colour scheme. My power tools are by Dewalt (Y&B) and my snowblower is a Cub Cadet, also Y&B. It...

Got mine already...

My deposit is with Gentry. I haven’t heard from either of my contacts (John/Paul) with any updates. My last update was from Lotus itself on August 11th regarding production delays and that North American builds won’t happen until January 2023 with the first deliveries targeted for March 2023.

I also have a deposit placed with Gentry. My deposit and work order is dated July 26, 2021. I’m # 39 on Gentry’s list. I initially tried to place a deposit with Lotus of Oakville but they were not the easiest to work with so I went to Gentry and they have been very professional. It seems still...
