Brutal, we have a dealer in the thread and you guys arent holding any punches lol

If I brought my current daily, I'd be laughed out of the meets! My rusty Si has no performance mods, 170k miles, rust all over, a cracked windshield, welded subframe, autozone "color-match" spray paint on a rear quarter panel, an exhaust leak, a marker light held on with packaging tape, 3 brands...

Havent heard anything from mine...

Just as Tom said, I first noticed this gearbox noise on my test drive last year and brought it up to the forum. Apparently it was supposed to be fixed from Evora to Emira and was not addressed. Only happened to me when starting off from a standstill or occasionally shifting into second at very...

Is America stereotyped for frivolous lawsuits? I did not know that! Interesting. Probably checks out.

Gotcha, I had read back a bit but I was confused on this post, whether Off and Auto are the same position or not, but it seems like they are vertically the same but different positions front to back. Apologies for re-hashing an old topic here, was just very confused since I never even looked at...

So about a month due to actual issues? Still, a lot of time.

I am a bit confused about how this happens, is there a certain mode on the column that goes to auto rain sensing mode? Is this something that if I never turn on, it wont be an issue? In my life I have never had a vehicle sense if it is raining, and I do not care to have that feature at all. Will...

I know it isnt a lot of data, and will change over time, but this is actually the spread I was hoping to see so far. Making me feel better about hanging in there. Seems like a majority of people havent had significant issues so far!

Yeah, just hoping to get some sort of initial gauge on the situation but might not pan out that way! Maybe it was like this for the evora launch too, just really seems like they don't have their ducks in a row, even less than I anticipated. It isnt so much the frequency of issues, it is the...

I feel like I have been seeing a lot of people who have taken delivery saying their car has been at the dealer awaiting parts or work for many weeks already. Obviously this wont be a perfect poll, as people who are having issues are more likely to come on the forum and express those problems...

I see your point and that would frustrate me too. However, at this point I'd take the car in neon pink if I knew it wouldn't be delayed again and would actually function as intended (not spend the first 10 weeks of ownership waiting for a failed part at the dealership). My biggest concern is...

Just to contribute, my very first email confirming the new colors and FE 2.0 from my dealer made it clear that these colors would not be available for FE 1.0. These new colors were only intended for FE 2.0 and base, and I have never had communication that made it seem otherwise.

Another vote for passenger ride!

Awesome!!

417 HP and 337 ftlb for the cowboys out here 417 at the wheel seems high.. we sure that is right?

Production Spec? No chance... Some of the V6 Demo cars arent even production spec

I did a double take, myself!

I think the general consensus is as you just said, and also the conclusion that I came to: Emira is more involving and fun, GT4 is more of a precision instrument and higher quality. Depends on your priorities and reason for buying!

Everyone is on here complaining about not having enough variety, and I am just happy that I got a darker/medium blue option! What I wanted from the start! Atlantis gang, rise up!

I thought it was settled that there was officially a small difference? Guess it isn't settled haha

March 2023 was pushed from around the original estimate I heard of early 2022, so I guess I only added a single year instead of 2 years. My bad, that one is on me I suppose lol

Sorry if I missed something or am late to the party, but last I heard from my dealer we were supposed to be getting the new base/FE 2.0 colors in March 2023 (obviously didnt happen). So, the official reveal got pushed to September 2023?

Depending on how they handle FE vs FE 2.0 and when/ if the new colors ever get released, I'd ideally like a dark blue. If that isnt an option, I am going Seneca with just the lower black pack. First Lotus for me, and first/ possibly only new car, period! Always bought used before. I have test...

Well im sure he wont mind if we just borrow the fins for the Emira!

Perfect, we have a headquarters and our numbers are multiplying like crazy already! I'd be surprised if Lotus USA doesnt ask us to be official representatives for the brand!

If Lotus still sells this as an option, it could be helpful in a getaway. I'll have to call my local rep and see.

🤢🤮

If it makes you feel better, you are probably more "hip and happening" than I am. I use a flip phone, hate social media, half of my music is from the 1960's, I still have CDs, etc. And none of this is in the cool hipster way, but in the lame old guy kind of way.

@2BIG2FAIL So just reading through these... so far there have only been 2 people still under 30 years old and in the US? I would say we could start the world's smallest club, but it is almost as far from me to you as it is from me to Hethel :LOL: kind of puts the size of the continental US into...

I put a deposit down when I was 25, and I am now 26 years old. REAAALLLLY hoping to have a car before I am 27. I think there are only a couple people on here in the US and under 30 years old, so I wouldn't expect a flood of responses, but maybe widen your search to some people in their lower 30s...

Early April Fools day prank! You should take credit for it even if it wasnt you haha ... or wait... is the redaction a prank? 🤔

Okay, so the theory is that someone took this to PPF too soon after factory painting. I can accept that and that would make surface level sense from my extremely limited knowledge of modern automotive paints! I am okay with waiting a couple months to PPF in order to avoid something like this...

Does this include when you break down? It is not uncommon for me to go on 12 hour trips. If I break down in the middle of nowhere and have to pay a tow truck for hundreds of miles to the nearest dealer and arrange a ride, that would be unacceptable. If it is just bringing it in for software...

Apparently facebook, I know nothing, hoping someone else can provide context! Not gonna get worked up unless someone can say what is going on for sure.

Done!

Starting this thread on behalf of @kitkat ... would love if someone else could tell me this picture is not paint pulling off the car, or provide a reason to not be concerned.

Maybe the construction company told them they'd be getting one soon! But seriously, I am not super familiar with the landscape of the UK, obviously not as spacious as in America, but here we have tons of caves that you can pay to drive many, many cars into for storage. The climate in there...

Shame there is no overhead covering to keep those out of the weather!
