    Today's Financial Times | Carmaker Lotus plans to end production in the UK

    Which is odd because the Emira was delayed in the states for years while the folks in the UK were beta testing them.....

    Today's Financial Times | Carmaker Lotus plans to end production in the UK

    Businesses tend to fail when they promote poor leadership, or let bad leadership stagnate. In this case I believe it is a large majority of the problem.

    Mazdas and Fords are built in Mexico, at least some of them are.

    Today's Financial Times | Carmaker Lotus plans to end production in the UK

    Maybe the newer generation cares less of where it is built. I know I wouldn't personally care, as long as its a solid car. I dont care about the racing heritage, that died in 94.

    Today's Financial Times | Carmaker Lotus plans to end production in the UK

    I think the Lotus we all knew and loved has left and is never coming back. But I agree with the sentiment that they pick something back up in the USA, however unlikely that will be. Lotus has been plagued by poor leadership for the last....10 or so years, so this isn't surprising that their...

    Connecting to WiFi. What's the point?

    I don't think its normal WIFI. When my WIFI drops in the car, my android auto also drops. Maybe it's Bluetooth? Who knows with Lotus.

    Lotus suspends production of its Emira sports cars

    100%! The GT is 480 HP and 700 TQ. I daily the GT and love it. I honestly feel the Emira is super slow in comparison, however I have to keep reminding myself that the GT slows down the faster it goes but the Emira keeps on chugging. Two different animals but I do feel the Emira could handle...

    Lotus suspends production of its Emira sports cars

    Is yours the Mach E GT? If so I have one as well as an Emira, and the Mach E GT is the more funn car. It doesnt tick the majority of the sports car blocks, but the speed, and braking are far superior than the Emira. Now the Mach E doesn't look as hot as the Emira, but you may be let down...

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    Depends on what the verbiage is in the contract. Most likely as long as the dealership is trying to do all they can to get the car...then no refund...unless they want to play nice.

    Do you remember when I posted the purple color hidden in the html of the config a long time ago and then they quickly took it off? I remember.

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    I've owned 3 rx7s, from 105 hp to 550 hp. Imo the best looking cars to come from Japan. 3 moving parts in the engine...simple, but disastrous design. I used to have a mobile business pulling and rebuilding rotary engines for customers. I got out of the rotary game after I purchased 3 motors...

    Saving this for later.....My Mach E has a app that I can lock/unlock. I wish Lotus had this to.

    Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

    I wish I could say they were great cars...but really sucked with reliability. This was my red one and the silver frame was one my buddy bought for 400 dollars and we built for him. Actually got it built up and running if you can believe that. Car was just the frame with everything stripped...

    Matt Windle promoted, says he wants to build more cars at Hethel

    Yeah most CEO's and people up in the chain have staff read their email and prioritize them by importance, which means about 95% aren't even seen by the principle.

    Matt Windle promoted, says he wants to build more cars at Hethel

    He also said no price increase, then guess what...price increase. Lotus needs to bring in someone that knows what they are doing. Outsource someone with a proven track record of bringing in revenue and changing business's for the better and things will change, but not until then.

    Another bad move by Lotus, Windle needs to be out.

    Introducing the Clark edition Emira

    ugly, I wish they payed better respect. At least if Emira owners like it they can spend a few grand to get it looking just like that.
