Honestly, I didn’t take as many as I would have liked. It was a bit surreal seeing it in person and my objective mind was slightly scrambled. I more or less took many mental snapshots. Either way, I’ll be in Hethel next week, though I’m uncertain of the rules that will be in place during that...

I’ve been a bit detached from these forums for awhile but will be headed to Hethel soon for a factory tour. I’m not even sure if there’s any small items that have yet to be picked apart here, but if anyone has suggestions/requests I’d be happy to capture them (if possible).

No water was in the trunk, maybe a little bit dropped in upon opening but most fell directly on the engine. This was just a phenomenon that occurred when the existing rain water on the hatch moved as it was opened. It was only about 2-3 ounces, but enough that I would not want falling onto a hot...

Not sure if this was covered here yet, but I was able to go see the car over at Lotus Haese near Frankfurt this week. It had been raining and the car was wet. When I lifted the rear hatch, a good amount of water drained directly into the engine bay… this wasn’t an issue as the car wasn’t warm...

Regarding the additional “‘24” cars slated for North America (based on recent email), was there distinction on FE vs base numbers? Will additional FEs be allocated to the us?

Regarding the additional vehicles (FEs), was this stated somewhere? Last I heard (back in March ‘23) I was 2nd on the list of people who missed the FE cut off with Gator. Still kinda hurts that I’ve had a deposit down since July 12, 2021 and missed the cut… Regardless, was it ever communicated...

I’d take that because fuck Adas and subscriptions. See that as a win win.

July 12th, 2021 is when I got my deposit in at Gator. Was told back in March I had missed the FE… but would be #2 for a base version. Crazy how much it varies dealer to dealer. Can’t say I’m upset about not getting an FE but it is frustrating that some people committed months after me and are...

As a person who missed the FE V6 by two slots and put my deposit down the first week of July ‘21, I am okay with this. Lol but I guess it sucks for people who don’t want the manual. There were lengthy discussions surrounding this early on about the V6 being manufactured first. I was told that...

OG deposit July 12, 2021 - Gator Motorsports in the US. They were speaking in regard to their allocation numbers vs my slot for the v6 with them. Said I was 10th in line (for a base) when all of their FEs were accounted for in January (?). Late April I was told that there’s still a...

With inflation and other potential cost increases, I honestly don’t think you’re going to save that much. Unless you choose absolutely zero options. Even then, it still won’t be all that much. Shipping costs are going to increase, which will be handed down to you. Manufacturing costs are...

That’s odd, I’ve been told since the day of my deposit on July 12th, 2021 that the V6 MT variant was the first to be produced…and that “I made a good choice” because it meant that I’d get my car soonest of all options.

Off topic but I appreciate seeing another 9-3 owner who also is in line for the Emira

I thought it was well established that v6 manual FEs would be the first bunch out? Auto v6 and i4 would be after… Maybe they are just discriminating against your choice of the flappy paddles.

I was told I missed the FE by 10 with Gator earlier this year. Was called earlier this week about it and that I should be ready over the next month because I was now 2nd in line. From what I understand is it’s a combination of people ahead of me being able to let others go and procrastinate FE...

It’s clear the guy is simply fishing for information. Regardless of how we may feel about flippers, deep down we are interested in what the demand is going to be. I always have contingency plans for every large decision I make in life, whether detailed or high level, and knowing how much I can...

Where do you live that you can get a rental property for $40k? I mean sure, I could go buy a $40 property, but the location will be not ideal (to put it mildly). Also, the condition…? I’ve tried before but never managed to get squirrels or rodents to sign a lease. They always just stay for free...

Nissan has completely lost allure in every aspect for me. I’d could honestly be considered a fan boy since my first car was a 93 S13 hatch. I still have that car and the same year/model coupe version. That being said, Nissan is so far down the line of things I’d consider at this point, it’s...

That's really not a bad idea. We could be even more efficient and just buy cocaine to start. Hear me out... If the goal is to flip this for money, you're way better off buying cocaine. The amount required for the non-refundable downpayment on an FE could purchase a decent amount of this...

Maybe if he keeps at it, he’ll get a different response that he wants to actually hear. Reminds me of an old annoying coworker from India, who was very skilled in the art of assaulting dead horses.

Very nice. My shop is booked up with tools, other toys and work space so my Emira won’t be going inside there. My pre-Emira 2022 project is to revert my garage back to a garage (previous owners closed it in) and do something like this. It’s currently 20x20ft with a tile floor. Thinking the...

Exactly. OP should just list it on Facebook as a 6MT. /s, if it wasn’t completely obvious. Also, OP…? What a douche.

Meanwhile I put down my deposit July 12th 2021 and will not be getting an FE. Feels bad.

July 12th, 2021 signed deposit with Gator. No allocation for an FE. Expected order date June ‘22. Base v6 delivery 2023
