    2027 Changes

    Well, you would have to factor in limiting NA to 700 allocations when 3X that amout of deposits were recorded in the first 4 months post launch (source - Lotus USA), then Covid shutdowns, plus materials/supplies/subassembly constraints and mucking up the US emissions certification application...

    2027 Changes

    An absolutely engaging conversation, the most impactful ever on the Emira. Looking from the proverbial 50,000 ft. view: - legacy Lotus leadership has been replaced by Geely (EV) loyalists - 400 or more Hethel staff now have new free time - Lotus financials are presently dismal, focusing...

    Sat for a month and it started fine!

    I have found the 18-day benchmark accurate. I keep it locked while garaged so the mirrors are out of the way. Unlocked may buy some time but is it really worth the risk? If your car started after a month parked, let's just say it was happy to have you back.

    Is leasing an Emira a good idea?

    Three things affected my decision to happily lease, well four. Down payment (in my case a good trade-in), a decent residual, inflation pushing newer prices higher (see latest MRSP) and freedom to return it if so desired (not my inclination whatsoever). Everyone bragging about paying cash seemed...

    Emira Review Index [V6 FE]

    Quite the critique...... not of the Emira but of the company...... for its disconnect with workers and customers, particularly the customer experience. More than anything, a cautionary management tale that hasn't sapped my driving enjoyment.

    Lotus suspends production of its Emira sports cars

    I say scratch that itch. The 2024/2025 Emiras are pretty well sorted. Mine has been trouble-free, as have been the majority those years. Get a test drive or find a local owner at a car meet.

    Surprised these weren't snapped up even from out of state, especially with the import situation. Are they radioactive (see half-life service schedule)?

    Perfect candidate to answer this: how do they compare? They must be dynamically different. Same plan, different execution?
