I"m sure others will agree when I say that's what I wanted to hear!!!! Thanks for the write-up...:)

Well then, I'm certainly looking forward to your critique!!!

Yeah the front lights for sure but the side profile looks c6 and the overall dimensions are almost exactly the same as the c6z06!

Thanks for the pics. You've verified I have made the right decision in NOT going DV..:)

Interesting. Anyone else out there have a deposit with Eurocar in So. Calif?

That was a great write up, thanks! And I'm not buying the car for the radio either..:)

I think Vette style peaked with the c6 which from some angles is pretty similar to the Emira. Maybe that's why i like it so much..:)

I suppose it depends where you live but here in So. Kalif I don't think I'd have an Emira as my only car. Much like I make my poor wife drive something less flashy than a Bentley Bentayga as we go to lowly places like Walmart where she could be followed home and robbed because of what she's...

There are worse ways to go..:)

Things like this is what I've been saying will keep a lid on Emira prices as well as take some of the shine off the Emira as new competitive products come along. I'm keeping my deposit on the Emira but in the meantime (the next 1-2years) seriously thinking about buying an Elise or Exige as a...

F that.. I am comfortable in T-shirt and jeans so that's what I wear when shopping for cars. Ok fine maybe a polo shirt if it's laundry day. That's one way to weed out the azzhats, many of whom know very little about the cars they are selling and less about the competition! Plus I have zero...

I too am happy to see folks getting their cars, but I'm a little confused about the order they are receiving them. What about that poor shmuck who has been waiting 3 years?? Did his dealer screw up and not put the order in right away?

She's a beauty! Congratulations and let us know how you like it in a few weeks...:)

Dunno about Aug. I put my deposit in on Sept 9. Looks like it's gunna be a long wait. I checked with CS at Lotus to see when my deposit might become an order and I was told "several months after receiving the deposit..." boo. We've had guys waiting up to 3 years for their cars and I'm not...

If you've ever been in production you know all the things both in and out of your control that can (and often do) go wrong. As the Director of Sales AND Operations poor Matt is in a difficult spot as Sales usually makes promises that Production can't possibly meet. He seemed like a genuine guy...

Ugly butt n no stick. Love Vettes, just not this one.

Word has it those are pics of the 2nd shift...

Yeah I'd be more than a bit upset. I'm sure it's frustrating knowing that any complaint will fall upon deaf ears. Harry seems like a nice guy, maybe he'll give you his car?...:)

3 years?!!! I admire your patience man. You should be getting yours......soon!

Hey that's my spec. You sure you don't want to sell it to me and keep some garage space clear?..:) Congrats, it's beautiful and I look forward to your comments after your road trip. Welcome to the forum!

Can't go wrong with Mr. Clemens, love his wit..:)

Likewise! To be honest though I wasn't planning on getting a car till late next year anyway so this works for me, unlike the poor fellows who have already been waiting over a year..:) We'll meet up when we get our cars. Good excuse for a road trip!!

I think they nailed it with the c6. Been downhill ever since as they try to cater to a "younger" audience.

Nope I think a lot of people will say no to much over $100k for the car. It looks exotic but remember that Toyota engine.

auto though and that ugly butt....:)

can't go wrong with Eibach and Bilstein! I've put that combination on almost every car I've owned..:) And you can see the challenges faced trying to get steady production up and running. That's a challenge even when everything is going right!! Seems like the Lotus team is giving it their...

Porsche may have the upper hand on performance but when you consider price, looks and snobby attitude Emira is the better car!

It's always been that way. Doesn't make it palatable or right for us peons though. "It's good to be the King."

i still say the Emira will be price limited. Only a few well-heeled folks and a handful of rabid fans will be willing to pay much over $100k for this car.

Yep "He who has the gold makes the rules."

I agree about the looks. I think this will age well.

Yep we share the same thought process in cars! I could shoot the designer at GM who destroyed the back of the Corvette!! As bad as the porpoise trunk on the BMW's awhile back. Plus it doesn't have a stick so the Vette, sadly is off my list. And I was looking seriously at the Cayman GTS (I...

2 more model years....a lot of cool stuff could come out between now and then and I'm beginning to be afraid the Emira isn't going to look as fetching as it does right now....

Yep was looking at their stock today. Some have it as a buy but I don't see it. And who knows what could happen to businesses under xi? Fingers crossed!

I was thinking red calipers but I don't like the way they go with the yellow center hubs. Definitely (maybe) Nimbus and now it's a tossup between red interior and the ice grey.....oh well looks like I have plenty of time to make up my mind!

Ah and we think Russian is difficult... cheers..:)

Yep a group IV I waited forever to have built. I put a 514ci big block in it with those "bundle o snakes" headers. It looked and sounded incredible but was scary as hell to drive as there was nothing but thin steel skin on those doors, you could almost rest your arm on the alternator and your...

Nope but we're both right. You can use a G or a J. Not really an important word...:) This has just been one of those days when it seems like every other person I have contact with either misspells or misuses a word so I just did a small teeny tiny vent that's all..:)

They can't up the price for the Emira. Too much competition. And if the competition raises its price too then there won't be enough sales to justify the increase, in today's climate anyway!

My feeling exactly, Lotus is price-limited by the competition.
