Exactly. What's the "personal cost" of the early model frustrations and all the anxiety that folks projects here?

So what's the conclusion on US Base V6 deliveries? Mid 2024?

Hopefully not Silicone Valley Bank

I didn't have any specific options in my estimate because there is no real equivalent. But between wheels, leather, rear wheel steering and front axle lift (which I need) you are easily in the 125-130 USD.

I have been thinking about getting both. But the T as a true daily. My concern is highway miles, I don't want too much nvh. My F80 is horrible on that front. Now, the Fe is well equipped. The T you need to add 15-20k (USD) in options.

Indeed, better to wait. Even better, si be Base has a planned delivery of 2024, we may be able to know more about an S or GT version.

Also, let's not forget that adding Porsche options adds $ in the tens of thousands.

Lol I was making a reference to when @NicolasB and I were disagreeing and @TomE nearly put is in the naughty list. Now only ☮️ and ❤️ despite that Cadillac purchase...

Hey, remember @TomE warned us. ✌️ ❤️ 🤗 😀

Congratulations. Beautiful combo. Love the down to earth review.

Just finished watching. Bien Fernando! Age is just a number, especially for him. I hope Perez can win a few races and keep things interesting. Decent job by Williams.

Haven't finished watching the race but enjoyed what I saw. They should really allow DRS from lap 1, get rid of tire warmers.

Any F1 fans in here? Will RB dominate again? Will ALO and Aston Martin really fight for podiums? Will Ferrari be able to really challenge for victories? In the meantime, have a laugh:

Here in CA they already asked EV users to not charge on certain hot summer days because the grid can't handle it. Lol - the transition is decades away.

Excelente noticia y qué buena sorpresa. Esperamos con ansias más fotos, videos, reseñas y comparación con el 410.

Are there any downsides/trade off of this product?

Manual of course. Because it's trendy too! https://www.wsj.com/articles/manual-transmission-stick-shift-cars-929dc155?reflink=integratedwebview_share

Wow, I'd need to do Yoga and lose a few pounds. It would annoy me daily. You are committed!

This is exactly why we should buy an Emira FE/Base/S/GT...it's the last chance to buy a product of the older Lotus DNA.

As daily friendly as a 911?

8pct + here in CA!

It depends. Unless you have confidence in the market/your investments outperforming, using debt is not financially better. Also, some folks hate debt payments. I grew up in a country where mortgage rates were 15pct...so you would buy cash and only what you could afford (unlike here in the US...

I didn't ask. They had also said March a few months ago.

Boardwalk (NorCal) said July/August for first deliveries.

I will never modify drivetrain again . Having to undo mods for emissions testing is a pain and $$$. CA will soon force us all to buy electric appliances...

Sell the Ferrari to a friend with a buyback option whenever finances allow. Let him/her handle the maintenance in the meantime.

Thanks, this is helpful. Any further color on timing of future variants?

Former Elise owner, love how Lotus cars drive. Do I want to be a brand ambassador? No. Do I want Lotus to be a much larger manufacturer? Probably not. Do I care as much as others about customer experience at the dealer (gifts, etc). Def not. I just don't think the brand is damaged because it...

Damage to the brand? The baseline for the brand was never high. I don't think there was much downside so...if anything, the brand has not benefitted from the latest products and management.

please elaborate on the deposit for the GT variant! Your dealer / Lotus UK took one without the car being formally announced?

Steering of a 992 is kind of numb. I was disappointed. Obviously the whole package is compelling.

Unfamiliar with UK financings. Is this a lease? Trying to understand the math to get to a 551 per month .

Leave it in for the GT version...

And it's undrivable in the street...

No more pictures please, you are making me second guess my choice of Hethel Yellow! 😉 loving the classy look of Magma

Epic music during the epic intro.

I read that, but must have been super easy as it took what, one day?

Glad it's sorted. At least this thread didn't blow up like the @Lots_Of_Trouble one that reached like 10 pages of panic. So far seems most issues have been addressed without a major disaster finding.

Congratulations! Looks great. Love your enthusiasm and energy. Sell the C63, keep the Ferrari and daily the Emira.

My experience with Lotus purchase: I was very bored in a conference in Boston in 2010. I had tested the Elise while working in the Uk. I googled Lotus dealers in Boston and found one nearby. Ditched the conference, went to the dealer, test drove a black 2010 Elise and fell in love again. Then my...
