    Emira V6 Manual vs. R8 V10 Manual

    Today I had my second test drive with the Emira, incidentally with the exact same car as my drive last year, as the one that was supposed to be at the dealership was pulled out either (not sure if it went elsewhere or had issues?) Regardless, I was excited to get behind the wheel again, and now...

    Property/Investment Chat

    *Moderator note: These first 21 posts were moved to this dedicated Off Topic thread. Please continue the property/investment discussion here. Wouldn't that be awesome! That is not in the cards for me, and that is totally okay. More than okay! A lot of people don't think about it, but if you...

    Any NSX Gen 2 (NC1) Owners?

    Hey all, I am exploring my options a bit more by omitting a manual transmission from my search. The gen 1 NSX has been my favorite car for a long time, and I am aware gen 2 is nothing like it at all. Second hand (obviously, they are discontinued) some of them seem like pretty good value for the...

    Owners: How much time have you spent unable to drive?

    I feel like I have been seeing a lot of people who have taken delivery saying their car has been at the dealer awaiting parts or work for many weeks already. Obviously this wont be a perfect poll, as people who are having issues are more likely to come on the forum and express those problems...

    PPF/ Paint Adhesion

    Starting this thread on behalf of @kitkat ... would love if someone else could tell me this picture is not paint pulling off the car, or provide a reason to not be concerned.

    Another 718 GT4 vs. Emira Test Drive

    Today I had the opportunity to test drive a 718 GT4. I have given my thoughts on the Emira test drive that I had, I will link to it if you want to read, but I wanted to get my thoughts down for my own sake. Context: I am 26 years old, put the deposit down on an Emira when I was 25. Looking for...

    2023 - A full year of hobbies while waiting for Lotus...

    Obviously none of us have had our cars delivered on schedule, and as a US v6 base deposit, I have come to terms with the car not arriving until 2024 (if I can hold out that long). In the meantime, my hobby (besides my love of cars) is recreationally lifting weights to feel good and stay trim...

    2025 Deadline with Production starting in 2023?

    I have seen rumors going around on here that by model year 2025 (essentially end of production year 2024), the v6 Emira will be phased out due to emissions. Hopefully someone can confirm or deny this with some level of certainty. However, my concern is that since we have basically all accepted...

    More Frequent Corporate Emails

    I know one of the big things we complain about is the lack of communication from Lotus and the quality of customer service, but I received 3 emails from corporate in the week between June 28 and July 5, which is more than I had total up to this point. I know maybe it wasn't the message we want...

    Warranty/Service Parts during Shortage?

    We all know about the delays to the production/ delivery of the Emiras and everyone is very anxious to have more solid timeframes, but has anyone heard of a plan at Lotus for when vehicles actually need parts AFTER delivery? Maybe they always have a certain percentage on standby to send to...

    Compromises

    I am relatively new to the forum but been watching from afar (placed deposit April 2022, not due to lack of interest sooner), but wanted to get some feedback from others. It seems like there have been a lot of individually small compromises that have come out with the Emira over time that alone...
