Yuck! Don’t like the sound of this at all… I love good hifi. What’s your benchmark Leonard?

i have some Kef wireless active speaker thing in the bedroom. For the size it has an incredible soundstage and good bass response I cannot believe their system wouldn’t outperform stuff like bose and harman kardan, who make average systems at best Feels really weird this one!! They are using...

It’s worth the wait!! Hoping to see DV in the metal soon too 😍

Funny perspective. I’ve seen zero toxic negativity, but I must confess to wearing rose tinted glasses and having a distinctly British sense of humour. clearly some people are pissed with ongoing delays but that feels fair enough On the bright side the cars are finally rolling out so there will...

Agree with most of what’s been said, but 91.8% of new car purchases were on finance last year, so the vast majority of buyers prefer it. Clearly rates going up might drive that figure down, but I don’t see many people handing their 50k car back and buying a 10k replacement outright in its...

Fair enough,… but the numbers suggest most people are happy to get the better car and absorb the extra cost I agree though… I’m seriously considering buying outright … I’d need to be getting a 15% gross return to make the finance a sensible option. But throwing 80k at lotus also feels like a...

If both Bluetooth devices are using an appropriate codec with decent source compression you shouldn’t notice. I spent hours blind testing lossless vs 320 on a very high quality system. Zero noticeable difference for me…. A real eye opener and stopped me wasting so much storage space on my audio...

easy to say if you’re cash rich But if you’ve only got 20k in hand you can either buy a shit car outright or get something much nicer for 20k down and 500 per month.

I think Ford has a captive (ie owned by them) finance company, hence can control the rates. Lotus do not and partner with an external finance provider, who sets the rates, which are out of lotus’ control…. Or a lot less influence anyway Honestly I think they’re doing well holding the price...

If that's the only issue you can see tom you've got that friday feeling! Given Lotus' form to date, I fully imagine for the first week they will send out batches of emails to people who already have received their car, cancelled their order, or already have committed to build. By the week...

Agree. Lotus are redefining the term shitshow on a weekly basis…

Bristol have confirmed that they will only be doing test drives on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with 5 slots per day. “It’s a first come first serve basis so keep an eye out for the email.”

You get a cayman gts instead ? 🙈

Its my car!! :love: I may have to head oop north for a gander.... what suspension setup does it have?

I think you’re after the gerbilling forum!!

does anyone know how "soon" we are going to be able to book our test drives? didn't someone say it was a free for all after next Friday?! That doesn't give many days to book my test drive... is this another lotus planning masterclass I feel panning out before me?

I've never had the pleasure of riding a greased weasel around a wet roundabout.... I'll have to add that to my bucket list!!

Great vid, thanks Itchy feet for my test drive now!!

Bristol have one

can she travel blindfold?

I do hope someone in the uk gets a DV demo car or I’m going to be pissed!!

Yeah me too - it’s definitely touring according to the dealer

What is it with lotus and group nudity?!! Looking forward to my email 😃

Photos of the demo

Bristol have got their showroom car as the demo Nimbus/red/touring

Bristol have got a demo car, and say we should get invited to book a test drive via email next week

We seem to spend all day discussing lotus’ politics!!

Agree… but an 80k car is a luxury item that 99.999%+ of the world can only dream of. I’m not buying a mini whilst on the loo… 😃

Let’s not conflate change with incompetence! I’ve not been to a bank in years and can’t see why I’d ever want to - to me it’s a transactional relationship of a commodity service and nothing more Buying a luxury car is wholly different. Digital natives are going to slam this outfit on social...

I’m just assuming my dates will slip to feb as I was an 8th July deposit and I’ll be unavailable until the beginning of march

might need to change the thread title back to ‘soon’! Really interested to see this hope it does arrive this week…

I was morning of 8th via lotus website, and now Jan delivery…. You could easily be more than a month behind depending on the time of day as they took loads of deposits at goodwood…

woooo hoooooo!! 🥂

me getting one!

We should be able to logon and see our car in the factory being worked on, never mind where we are in the build sequence! Of course that assumes the car is actually being built I suppose…
