Also, the I4 will come much later. Saw your post in the other thread, the First Edition for the I4 is set to be delivered end of 2023, so for your late deposit you are looking at 2024 at the earliest

sorry didn't see your question. Was #4 at the montreal dealership.

Been dealing with Montreal since the announcement and confirmed my order a few weeks ago for delivery in november, I've had a great experience so far, you should be pleased with Bernard.

no doubt about that, V6 for sure. I4 will sound like a vaccum cleaner and maybe even fake sounds inside the cabin

I've had my deposit on for the GR Corolla since last september. Anxiously waiting for more infos from Toyota Canada in the next few months.

they got 60+ deposits, so that'll depend on the amount of allocations for 2023.

yeah everything has been said above.

same feeling here. Holding on to my 981 GT4, love that car :)

I've never used N-Spec tires on any of my Porsches, I'm not really a beleiver in these things. Doing about 10 track days a year in my GT4, a tire set lasts a summer, I'm buying the generic tire every year. I'd lie if I didn't admit seeing a difference between N-Spec and generic tire, but I just...

I have ordered sport suspension with goodyear tires. At first I thought I'd order the cup2s, but I changed my mind last summer. This car is going to see occasional track, but my main track car is my GT4, so no need for tires full of compromise on the street. My GT4 is running on Goodyear Eagle...

I have to admit I has hesitant for a few weeks, but that was the first idea I had in mind so I went with it.

yes, my order is officially done, I have received the order confirmation from Lotus thursday :)

I'm sure all colors will be great. Had a long moment of hesitation between magma and senecca, but ended up ordering senecca as well.

woah that's nuts. I'd find a way to get it registered in another neighbor country. The price difference Is literally worth buying a minuscule appartment in Germany to have an address for registration...

yep same, demos at the same time as customer cars

BTW for every Canadian reading this, The Luxury Tax bill currently being drafted by the federal gouvernment currently says that every order passed before april 20th is going to be exempt from it. So that would represent about 4000$ less for a 120k emira.

Quick update, Montreal dealership contacted me today. It's time to lock in my spec. Sent my configuration code tonight. So anybody who had a FE allocation confirmed should get some news pretty soon.

canadian website still shows the same price for the V6 FE 119 888

That all depends if a lot of customers are opting for the I4 I guess. The montreal dealer has been very open about it's list and my position in it from the beggining. Gave my deposit the day of the reveal on july 6th and has been told I was 4th on the list on that same day.

They will be carried over in 2023 for I4 FE, V6 will be base edition in 2023. Some V6 FE might slip at the beggining of 2023 (jan/feb), but that's about it. This has been confirmed numerous times in other threads in the past weeks. latest news I received (from Montreal) were that all their...

Ask your dealership. The only thing I know is, if you are not getting your FE in the first run for your engine, you are not getting a FE. V6 FE are limited to 700 for north america and that is it.

it means you'll have to wait for next production year, sounds pretty clear to me.

Still waiting as well, last time I spoke to the dealer they said somewhere in march, so I'm not too worried at this point.

Even a GT4 does not have double wishbone in the front.

If you drive the car a lot I would be very hesitant as well. One thing that is nice with Alcantara is the fact it provides extra grip for the driver during hard cornering, but other than that, it's asking for trouble on a daily driver of you ask me. Got a lot of it on my GT4 (steering, seats...

I think just keeping is as on option is easy enough, not fitting it to every car standard.

I'd pay an extra to remove those features from any car so i'm pretty happy the FE does not have it.

well we could go on and on about that. But if you track a stock car with stock tires, I hardly see how this could happen... https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/lotus-cars-warranty/ Lotus models are designed as road going sports cars. It is recognised that owners may wish to use their cars...

might be a different term in the UK, I think uprights is also used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_knuckle

anybody got infos regarding knuckles? I read online the Evora hat steel knuckles, is it the same on the Emira?

It's less expensive as well while having a better quality, will that be hard to overlook too?

well even in the GT4 and GT3 they are an option. So you can opt for the seat you want based on the use you are making of the car.

Carbon fiber bucket seats really make the car feel special. I'm sure there will be some of these in future iterations. Love the seats in my GT4, instant sens of occasion as soon as you look through the window. The ones in the new BMWs are great as well, hope they are going to be offered on the...

That I can't wait to see, the seats were a concern from the beggining for me.

I lot of factors will be at play here. If the price of the Emira raises in the next few years, if they get new editions out that are better, etc. Some cars hold good value. My 2016 GT4 is still worth more than I paid for in 2016 after 6 years and 22 000km.

the real question you should be asking yourself is: does it really need additional baffling? Not all engine designs require additional baffleing in normal track conditions. Your Emira will have a 3 year warranty to find that out :p If you run stock tires and hve oil starvation issues on track...

yeah well just to make it clear (just in case it still isn't :p), the battery tender charges the battery through the cigarett lighter port hehe

I use a battery tender that plugs in the cigarett lighter in my GT4. So simple and practical, love it. Only use it during the 5 months winter storage though.

I think you are being a drama queen and that fuss is really exaggerated. You are 100% proving their point in not giving communications unless they are sure of what they are going to communicate. You are holding them accountable for their statements last year and the fact they were not able to...

And that is exactly why you are not getting any communications from lotus... I can't beleive the amount of moaning this forum now gets. Clearly most complaining members have never tried to buy a car that is in such high demand, because what is experienced here is completly normal. Some people...
