You hit the nail on the head "see a void" with black wheels. Porsche had a good alternative to either black or silver wheels, a very nice satin platinum finish. The bonus is the Wheel colour is the exact same colour is brake dust so it hides it very well.

Love that pearl white with the black roof. I hope Lotus offers it in that color later on.

AudR8 I am probably going Nimbus Grey without the black pack. To put black ppf on the roof, cantrails and mirrors would not cost much, maybe $250-$400 CDN, way cheaper than the cost of the black pack. Another plus without the black pack is you can then have 2 different looks if one day you fancy...

I've always wanted to own a Lotus from the first test drive I took in an Elise. After that a very high spirited ride along in an Exige on the racetrack. So bare, so raw, so incredibly exciting. I would have definitely bought a V6 Exige, unfortunately they were never sold in North America.

I've narrowed down my color choices to Seneca blue or Nimbus Gray. My Dr. Jekyll says go for Nimbus grey, classy hides the dust, dirt scratches and swirls well, so less detailing/ maintenance. My Mr. Hyde says sports/exotics are supposed to have bright, showy in your face colors, like the...

Here is a screenshot from the Lotus Canada website. They list prices for the First Edition and Base Edition. Will Lotus do the right thing and honor those posted prices?

I'm going with Nimbus grey with tan interior, yellow calipers and v-Spoke silver wheels. No black pack, as I can always go with black ppf. I would go tan interior, the two tone looks so good.

Regarding the Porsche GT4, I've listened to the exhaust note on both the original and latest model GT4, and there is a very noticeable difference. The original sounds much more raw, like the Evora in the video. I guess that's what you get when you add particulate filters to the exhaust. Muffled...

Andrew, I owned a 2005 Porsche Boxster for 10 years and they were the most comfortable seats I've ever had in any car, I hope the Emira's are close.

Just like this mod done to an Evora. Emira should be similar. This is exactly why I'm opting for the V6 manual. Driving Nirvana.

P.rob, I'm currently torn between Seneca blue and Nimbus Gray, but I was going to go with the Silver v spoke wheels on both. Not a fan of the diamond cut wheels.

Congratulations, at least the Emira is starting to sound real for you gentlemen.👍👍 For me just a wonderful fantasy.

I hope to get my first call from Lotus by 2025. LOL 😆 🤞

KJD I have concerns about the front lip getting damaged if I misjudge the distance when pulling into a parking spot. Would the front parking sensors be able to pick up a curb or cement parking block? If not would one be able to use a backup camera mounted on the front bumper??

Sorry gents, but you ain't going to be getting this amazing sound out of the turbo i4.........simply glorious. Really sounds almost race car like.

I personally would never ever pay ADM to a car dealership for any car, as it would leave a very bitter taste in my mouth every time I got into the car.

Luckily ADM is not allowed in Canada. I could have got a Civic Type-R for list price in Canada, but I know in the States they were paying $5k, $10k even $15k over list when it first came out. Crazy stuff.

I couldn't agree with you more my friend. I could go a whole season with my Ariel Atom same brakes and tires lasted unbelievably long because the car weighed nothing.

I really have no choice but to track my Emira if I want to drive spirited around corners. I moved from Southern California, which has so many epic driving, twisty canyon roads I can't even count them all on all my fingers and toes, to Southern Ontario which is the complete opposite, it has ZERO...

Leonard, just curious if you're planning on keeping the GR Yaris once your Emira arrives? Love the GR Yaris, shame it didn't make it to North America.

Video shows the maximum speed in the Emira in second gear is around 70mph, where the maximum speed in the GT4 in second gear is around 80mph. A welcomed and rather significant difference. Means we'll be shifting a lot more in the Emira, a very good thing for manual drivers.👍👍

How robust are the composite panels? For instance if some unthinking person where to open their door in a parking lot and bump the door of an Emira, would it be able to take the hit which would normally make a small but noticeable door ding in a metal door? How much force can the composite...

Solution. First, get your entire new Emira polished with a light finishing polish as it should be good enough on a new car. Second, once the paint is flawless have someone install paint protection film on all the areas you feel are vulnerable....for me the full bumper, full fenders, rocker...

You beat me to it my friend, I was going to suggest to him go buy yourself a Honda Civic beater car until your Emira comes in, not a big deal. Remember gentlemen "STRESS" kills. Chill out, getting upset, frustrated about things out of your control is silly, pointless and unhealthy, especially...

Guys, instead of worrying, freaking out, getting upset with things completely out of your control, probably best for your well being, is to just chill and let Lotus get busy manufacturing the Emira. Maybe they will surprise all of us with a second shift and get us our cars early. All this...

Looks too bling bling to me. Something a rapper might drive, though it would need much larger wheels of course. 😜

I'm going for the touring suspension, as I made a huge mistake buying a Ford Focus RS sight unseen, no test drive and it was by far the harshest ride of any car I've owned. Sold it after only 8 months of ownership, as it beat the crap out of me every time I drove it. Don't want to make the same...

I guess in Canada dealers want to make sure customers don't walk away from the deal. $2,500 vs $10,000 big difference.

Since the delivery of my Emira is not going to happen any time soon, at least for over a year, just curious what happens if I move to a province that has no sales tax? Any problem with having the car delivered to the other province? I wonder how much heads up notice Lotus would need if I change...

You said you will be paying an additional $2,500 at spec ordering time. My dealer in Canada said I will need to put down 10% of the total purchase price when I spec order my car, on top of my first $2,500 initial deposit.🤯😱. Does that sound right??
