Fingers crossed.

Let’s hope.

There have 6 dealers in Canada . We can fairly say they have an average of 40 deposits each. So that means 225-250 deposits. If priced well they can sell around 170 to 200 cars in Canada per year. Porsche have sold 301 Cayman in 2020. I think Lotus was selling 250-300 evora gt in USA in the...

It makes sense.

6th july 17h00 🙂 He had already 2 or 3 deposit before the launch of the car. Around July 15th he was already at 35-36 deposits.

Depends where people live. Myself I live in a Mountains region and winter are really tough. Anyway I dont even drive my sports cars when it is raining in summer so I would never put a car that much expensive into salts , rocks and sands. Too beautiful of a car for such bad conditions. If I was...

My Montreal dealer have 52 deposits for the Emira and 70% of them want a manual transmission just like myself so mainly V6 sales. I am supposed to be into 6th position on the list.

My guess to this is zero person is going to use that car in canadian winter condition.

I did a quick check and almost answered to myself. NZD is a different currency than AUD. Cayman GTS 4.0 = 170 200 NZ$ including 15% GST Emira FE V6 = Unknown ( Let us Know if you got that number. ) Cayman GT4 = 211 000 NZ$ including 15% GST

I saw last week the Autralian pricing. Does the New Zealand pricing are the same like below ? 172 000 For a Base Cayman GTS 4.0 184 990 For a Lotus Emira FE V6 well equipped 206 600 For a base Cayman GT4

I’m in a hurry to know our real price since july 6th and me either I was pretty confident that my max budget of 115K + taxs = 130K-135K was going to be more then enough but we could have a bad surprise. The futur covid luxury tax is going to hurt also. If the price is 125K it is another 5K over...

For the past week ? For the past months you means. ( 3 months and 6 days to be accurate. )

I dont know if it is 2 or 3 or 4 times and it doesnt matter. But he said you want the Emira or not like if no matter how Lotus price the car it was suppose to be just fine. Someone who think like that is perhap not a real serious buyer or it is somebody that can afford the car no matter how the...

We are just asking to price the car between the base GTS 4.0 and the base Cayman GT4 just like they did in every other market in the world until now period. What do you have to complaint about that ? You want them to charge 10 000$ more here then a base GT4 while in USA the FE is 7 300$US less ...

At least if they could give us a date. Lotus of Vancouver told me friday october 1st it was going to be the next week but it passed and nothing happened. Lack of communication from the top to the bottom. Canadian dealer dont even know themselves.

It make a lot of sense with all the other brands I had checked/calculated a +15%-16% difference with usa pricing. But when I do look at Jaguars with the F-Type, another small british maker, the math gives 114 700$. A bit higher but still reasonnable ! The 125K range is just ridiculous for us.

We are those going to spends 130K-140K and make their story a success collectively. We are those, early adopters that gives our trust to the brand on a 100% new product that usually car expert do not recommend to buy a new car the first year it comes out, we are those that will go to car and...

People keep comparing the Emira to C8 or Cayman because the Lotus head of marketing did it himself. He even said Z4 and F-Type as well. So when you clearly state the cars you want to compete with, we figure out that the price of the car should be somewhat comparable to them. Until now in every...

Name me one car that weight 1900-2000 pounds that has a nice fit and finish ? When you use material to be lighter and you cut here and there and sacrefice this and that a lot of people will call that a cheap car or look like a cheaper car or whatever while myself I see something pure. Porsche...

To build light cars, you have to sacrefice fit and finish as simple as that. It was the Lotus philosophy. This new Emira now have the fit and finish other people are looking for but the car is now as heavier as Porsche. I’m fine with that because I will keep my Exige with the Emira but I would...

I dont have looked closely at the base Cayman specs sheet because I am not a Porsche fan to buy one but I would say that you dont have: - Forged wheels - Big 350W KEF sound system ( Bose option for Porsche.) - Colored interior stitching - LED light ( I think it is an option for Porsche.) -...

Is it possible that your dealer is not to the page of the day ?

Exactly. There is between 10K and 14K in options . Just the forged wheels alone is a 2.5K - 3KUS. The price of the base V6 should be close to 8K-10KUS less. The purpose of the first edition is that it gives you all those options for a couple thousands less then a la carte but myself in fact I...

I am somewhat fine with their pricing strategy to be positioned between a base cayman gts 4.0 and under a base cayman gt4 in all other market in the world. Now be consequent and do the same for the Canadian market period.

I read somewhere that the price for Asian or Chinese market could be somewhere toward the end of October so I guess we will be at the bottom of their priority list. When I look at the picture below it is so unfair if the FE is priced 125K CAD when I compare with all the other place in the world...

Look at the picture and tell me if that would make any sense if the Emira FE V6 was priced 125 000$CAD ?

When I look at the Emira V6 FE UK price at 75 995 gbp and the Evora GT410 sport base price at 88 675 gbp I see a 14,5% gap between both. ( 88 675 - 14.5% = 75 817 ) When I look at the V6 FE USA price at 93 900 usd and the Evora GT base price at 96 950$ I see a skinny 3% gap between both. ( 96...

I think there is 6 dealers in Canada. Each dealer have a potential of selling 25 to 40 cars per year. That mean 175-240 cars per year. They expect to sell 1600 -1700 cars in North America per year. So that means we represent a small 13%-15% of the North America sale. Porsche sold 301 Cayman in...

GBP got their price. Euros got their price. US got their price. AUD got their price. CAD didnt !

3 months after the launch and still waiting...
