Looks great to my eye. Weren't they going to go to black/silver badges/center caps on the FE 2.0 cars?

It's their dealership...welcome to capitalism. By that time I should be able to order a base car with a reasonable wait time...from somebody else (looking at you Gator) if that's the way they want to play. ;)

Order submitted this morning FE 2.0. Fairly conservative apart from the Ice Grey interior. V6/MT Touring suspension/Goodyears Osmium Silver Ice Grey Nappa Black leather steering wheel No upper black pack No Privacy Glass Black Calipers Silver wheels Homelink

Received a call yesterday from Eurocar (Lotus of Orange County, CA) with an offer of a FE 2.0 V6 build slot. I had just missed the cutoff for their second allocation and was 4th on the standing list for the first base allocation V6 at some point in the future (I previously declined a I4 slot). I...

I was 34th (July 15th 2022 deposit) on the list at EuroCar in Costa Mesa, CA. Missed out on V1 and V2 allocations (12 and 17 respectively). As of yesterday, Zach confirmed I'm 4th on the V6 base list (assuming they don't receive any further V6 FE allocations). Was offered an FE I4 slot but...

Thanks. Worked on the iPad for me. Still no go on the iphone.

What new configurator?

Wasn’t that why Lotus reduced the redline so they could meet emission targets? Also why the I4 is part of the strategy as it offers emissions significantly lower than the V6 to meet ever tightening global standards?

Makes sense to me...

I did spec V6 Manual when I placed my deposit...I don't remember if they required us to actually specify way back then. I'm wondering if any of the 17 FE 2.0 that wish to hold out for the I4 would still be at the front of the I4 line based on the original deposit date order? Or would someone who...

I checked in with my dealer (EuroCar in Orange County, CA) and they received 17 FE 2.0 allocations and I am 21st on the list. They said if 4 (or more) of the 17 opt for the I4 I might sneak in...not getting my hopes up. :cool: Original FE 1.0 allocation was 12 cars with 11 customer builds...

Is that Matt W. in the car?

They have been posted before and someone pointed out this was a preproduction prototype (note the mismatched front and rear wheels) that was painted silver but was not osmium. Still it gives a clue of what a silver Emira will look like. There were also the silver interior design bucks that can...

Quite by accident. I did have to point out to several who asked that I was affordable but not cheap!! Made the plate easy for me to remember... :)

Not as repulsive as the Lucid but no where near as handsome as a Cavalier, ;) I bought this 2005 Cooper S 6-speed new and put 130k miles on it before I sold it. Make sure you have a good independent shop if it's out of warranty! Tons of fun to drive and a great litmus test in Newport Beach. If...

Just picked up A Lucid Air Touring. 384 miles range (EPA) on the 20" wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport EV staggered tires 245/40/20 front on 20x8.5, 265/40/20 rear on 20x9.5, 620HP, 885 ft/lb torque, Dual Motor, AWD, 0-60 3.1 (Motor Trend), 380mm six-piston front brakes, 375mm 4-piston rear...

Did you actually hear an I4? Can you comment further on its sound quality? Compare it to the V6?

Perfect. Thank you!!

Could I trouble you for a link to that listing? I'm on their website but don't speak the language and I'm coming up empty. Thanks!!

Not sure that’s an option here in California! Of course we have plenty of folks that do it but I try not to give the constabulary probable cause, especially if I’ve had a pint or two in the course of the day. 😎

Eurocar by chance? The old Lotus dealership used to be on PCH in Newport Beach, no?

A response from KitKat! Nice!! Thank you sir!

I’ll spec the touring suspension (if I ever get the chance!) but living in Southern California gives us weather that could certainly make the Cup 2s an option. Once I burn through the first set of Goodyears I wonder if the Lotus spec Cup 2s might be worth considering with the tour suspension...

Having lived with a 91 NSX (red with the black roof) I can certainly understand the challenge of keeping the roof clean and swirl mark free (impossible!) Your exterior spec is exactly what I’m leaning towards (nimbus/DC/yellow calipers) but with no black pack. I do appreciate the way a non-black...

I live in San Clemente (work in Newport Beach) and placed a deposit at Eurocar July 15, 2022. Being so late to the party I fully expected a long wait. So I was surprised to learn during the test drive/reception event (November 2nd) held at the dealer that I was among the first half of deposits...

Traded emails with my dealer (Eurocar in Orange County, CA) and confirmed I am #32 on the list (deposit placed July 15, 2022) with 12 cars already allocated and ordered for the original FE allocation. They do not have their allocation number for the 600 2.0 FE cars yet but there are 19 on the...

Continued from previous post... When we finished the drive, the Lotus rep, without prompting (thanks Tom!) played some music via Apple CarPlay through the Spotify app at a level that was louder then I would typically play my car stereo. It was cranking out plenty of bass and while Spotify is a...

Long time lurker, 3rd post… Was able to have a short test drive (Wednesday November 2, 2022) courtesy of Eurocar in Orange County, CA. In addition, there was a reception in the early evening where the car was available on the showroom floor to view. The car was a V6/6-speed in Hethel Yellow...

Thanks for sharing @ott! Please keep them coming!! Love seeing these real world photos. It's a very sophisticated color combo you have there. Interesting how Nimbus can read as silver (your photo in front of Neuschwanstein Castle) or more of a champagne/bronze (storm titanium) depending on...

Will it be at the Concours event tomorrow by chance?
