    I’ve got to ask, is “my wife’s I4” similar to when I bought my wife a new fly fishing rod that oddly was only ever used by me? Kudos to you sir for pulling this off!

    Not certain my heart can take the fluctuating highs and lows of this thread! Can we get a group buy for Xanax?

    Yeah once I take delivery I guess I'll have to revert back to bitching about the government full-time. :(

    Living in a non-CARB state, I’m willing to take an early allocation that was headed to west coast. Seneca with gray, but open to Magma/black.

    They can backdate mine to a MY 2023 as long as it is just f!$king delivered soon!

    I think it can slightly impact resale value as the perception is that it's "newer". Can't think of another advantage.

    Is there any objective or subjective evidence that UK build quality is improving over time?

    Yeah but Canadians are optimistic about everything! 😜 But seriously I’m buying this position as well. Also, I never had a single issue with my Elise.

    Toyota building an electric Evora? FT-Se MR EV sports car

    I think the orange color adds to the Evora appearance as it seemed pretty popular on that car.

    I think there are several years worth of data/examples on this forum that supports the opposite of the sentence (bold) above. Additionally, as totally mismanaged as this process has been, I don't think even Lotus would dare make the mistake of attempting to pass responsibility for delays onto...

    If it happens, I'm betting it is truly just a handful of cars - maybe ten - just so Lotus can say "told you so." But I'm willing to bet that we don't see a steady flow of cars into the U.S. until spring. Not terrible if it happens.

    I purchased a 1990 911 many years ago, and the salesman popped the rear trunk and proceeded to show me where to put coolant in. Was adamant that I should check coolant levels regularly on “these cars”.

    Well if he did get in some hot water there should absolutely be an organized and firm response from this forum with at least 500 signatures. Uncool to punish somebody for being a true brand ambassador, which ultimately is doing his job the right way.

    Deposit paid...now just waiting

    The primary reason for many here -including me - in choosing the V6 over I4 is the manual transmission.

    I just put my spec in on the Lotus t-shirt with my dealer. I went with XL. Delivery date expected Q1 2024 (or "soon" in Lotus lingo). Soooo excited!!!!

    I suspect Scott's getting overwhelmed with connection requests on LinkedIn today, probably to the point he's asking himself "what the f#$k did I do?!"

    Lotus Emira Financing/Lease Rates

    Funny how a Lotus Emira is for "high income earners". I priced out a Ford F150 the other day and it was $88k, and an Expedition was $94k. Cars aren't cheap these days!

    I think this sensor information is great info - thanks! That along with side marker difference really reaffirms those cars are bound for NA. But I do wonder if the sensors are larger because of the perceived "weight issues" of the U.S. drivers and that your tour guide was being nice and said it...

    Going to have to agree to disagree on a few points here - and maybe a bit offended. I believe most here - and by most I mean those that are consistently adding to this thread - are NOT emotional, demanding types that want constant attention. All we ask for is transparency and to be kept in the...

    So I was told by a dealer today that several NA cars have been built, and the hope is to get a handful to this side of the pond before the end of December. Also said the CARB certification process could alter when actual deliveries take place. He's been a pretty dependable guy as to what...

    Turning 53 here in a few weeks. By the time we take delivery, you, Nova and me can have a meet-up at The Villages in Florida and bitch about the government while eating Jell-O and wearing white pants. All between the party hours of 5-6pm.

    I understand people here not wanting to take delivery in winter, but I want mine immediately. I can always lock it in the garage until nice weather, but would sleep a lot better knowing it's in my possession and not coming "soon".
