Don’t jinx it Maurice!

If you don’t mind absorbing likely depreciatio, you could take the grey one now, and decide if you would rather have the red auto when it arrives.

So the partner doesn’t get the sports car need, so she suggested this is more appropriate:

Unfortunately mine is sitting outside in the elements as there’s no room at the dealership.

Agree. I haven't received an email since the January "your Emira is in the mail" update.

To quote from The Incredibles - "If everyone is special, no one is"

You could take the next step up in the Michelin line and go with their shaved R compound tire which is an exact fit...

I just think they’re on to you Der. I swear I said nothing!

Received pictures of car including VIN from dealer when car was unexpectedly sitting on his lot. FE 2.0 which I was told had a January build according to Lotus (good screw up for a change). Gift not received.

I'm pulling for you to find one at MSRP. I hate the entire concept of ADM. Hell, I never paid MSRP on a vehicle until this one and even that seems wrong! Let us know what you're looking for in case a forum member comes across something.

I think it’s from the 06

Well, it's information that was passed along by a dealer so I can only hope it's accurate.

Here's hoping the current dates stick as the Feb 12 - March 13 dates were provided by CARB to Lotus and not a Lotus pick-a-date from their ass number.

What makes it a bit twisted is there will be FE 2.0’s delivered before 1.0’s.

128-HP increase to 656 is a huge jump and can justify the price increase. Bet it's fun as hell to drive.

The only “connection“ I have is a friend who is a liquor distributor in NYC. I have been able to get Weller 12 and Full Proof for under $50, which is what the list cost is to retailers (talk about ADM, liquor is insane). Might be fun to have a group Zoom toast after delivery (even include...

Well I’ve got a Weller 12 on standby for when I get the text from my dealer to come pick her up (or if I hear crickets - either are good reasons to have a drink).

You have way cooler neighbors than me, and live in a much nicer neighborhood.

Love the color! More pics please!

That's a solid endorsement. I was shocked when they told me they could add the Jag (which is more valuable than the Emira) for an extra $300/yr.

Just said it can't be a daily driver (have to have another daily on a separate policy), but okay with just going on joy rides. Not sure how this could be monitored.

Thanks for the Grundy tip. $1,300/year no mileage restrictions. And bundled with the XKE it's only $1,600.

You might want to shop around. If you don't mind traveling a bit and are flexible on the build spec I bet you can find something at MSRP. Others here have claimed to have success.

Will give them a go next.

Also, got a great deal from American Collectors for a 1969 XKE I purchased a few month ago, but they cannot insure the Emira because I don’t have a daily driver that’s within 1-yr of age of the Emira. So in order for them to insure the Emira, I would also have to have a model year 2023 as a...

Georgia. And I have five other cars so was okay with 4,000 mile restriction

54-yrs old. Never had an accident at my fault. No speeding ticket in last 20-years, and Hagarty quoted me $3450/yr. Absolute joke.

I’m in! Guessing a large GA/TN/NC contingent will be interested.

Dear Lotus, Please surprise me and ship my car back to the U.K between Feb. 12 - March 12 and give me no explanation as to satisfy the sadomasochist in me. I figure the response is typically the opposite of what I want so trying a new tactic.

This IS a serious question - how did kitKat sneak by the admins and get approved? I'm thinking there was some sort of under the table payoff here!

I got neither an email or delivery notice. With Charlotte.

Damn you Porter!!! (aka Mr. 400)

So childish! I’m posting just to try for the title of “Mr. 400”!

It’s tiresome only if you read it. There is the option not to. But your right to comment. You be you.

People will react differently to disappointment. Why is not okay for some to vent? Just accept it.

And they don’t need CARB approval. Lucky!

I think it looks stunning. A bit of Aston Martin front end and oddly a Bentley sports coupe rear arches. Absolutely love the color as well. Would order one today if it was available. Thanks for sharing!

Oooh I hope it’s the golf tees! I mean, how cool will you look on the course whipping out Lotus branded golf tees? Next best thing to owning a Lotus.
