Like most of the others the price was confirmed but the freight/delivery cost was not - just guessed at. Also didn't promise delivery date but told me to expect it in June.

It all depends on how you plan to use each car. There is no question that the Ferrari will appreciate and become more valuable as time goes - as long as you don't drive it much! That's the dilemma I, personally, would have the most trouble with. A manual 430 that's driven a lot - with high...

Thanks for update. I contacted Gentry to see what they know and was told November 2 and 3rd are likely dates there but no other details. It may be the worst area of town to try a test drive but after all this waiting I'm super pumped just to see it in person.

been driving since late May for my Lotus "fix" - its awesome.

Thanks for sharing the videos -hadn't seen the #27 video before. I have followed Harry for years - and have seen a few videos on his Elan. I have to admit that the recent Harry video you posted - and I first saw in January - inspired me to find and buy a Sprint - which I did in May of this...

My experience with Gentry has been the same as @Emira2222 and @Captain.Kirk - basically no information initiated by Gentry. A couple times over the last year I have shared information from this forum with them and got a response but that's about it. Besides telling me I won't get a FE I have...

the great question of "when will THEN be NOW" answered by Mel Brooks:

I would also count myself as someone looking for the car to stir emotions and make me smile. Not smugly because I "own" it - but because the car is saying something to me that sparks that child like glee. I hope to track it a couple times a year but I won't give a damn about lap times - just a...

I suppose that on reflection none of the reviews should be a surprise. CAR had the car pretty even - but the familiarity and confidence they had built up with the Porsche was too much to declare the Emira a clear winner - but I, personally, was hoping for Emira to be better. EVO is my...

I am. While I was hopeful that the Canadian pricing would come in at a similarly priced Cayman GTS - it really was only "hope". I've never owned a Lotus but as a "car guy" was well aware of their reputation for being incredible handling cars and have watched many reviews of the Evora - Harry's...

With just a quick review of what forum members in Canada are saying their individual dealers have deposits for it sounds like more than 100 Canadian orders. There are two dealers in Toronto and the one I have a deposit with says they had 45 deposits (and that was a month ago) - so assuming the...

Hello fellow Canadian Lotus enthusiasts It has been difficult to get "real" information specific to the Canadian market. The UK and US seem to be much farther ahead with regards to pricing and details. I did just have a brief conversation with Gentry Lane in Toronto and they told me the V6...

From my limited understanding the main reason the Emira will/should sell for less than the current Evora is based on a higher level of volume/demand going through the plant. I heard they only produced 1500 Evora's per year and have a minimum target of 5000 per year of the Emira - this, along...

My dealer forwarded me the notice from Lotus confirming receipt of my order with the Submission I.D. yesterday. It seems the U.K. and US customers are being sent this direct from Lotus - whereas mine was sent to the dealer. In any case it keeps the excitement burning bright!

I worry that I will miss a trunk/boot most! Will have to learn to pack only necessities with the Emira - or get a roof rack. Don't think I will miss anything else as I hope the driving experience will distract me enough that I don't care about massaging seats etc.

My dealer told me today that Lotus USA was starting to send out confirmations emails to acknowledge orders placed. I have not received any such email yet but it's good news that they are starting to be sent.

The stated starting price of the Emira is said to be less than sixty thousand pounds Sterling. From the docs shown on this website that amount is said to include VAT (Value Added Tax) that UK drivers - and perhaps others countries - pay when they buy or finance a car. I believe the amount of...

I remember being pumped to get the Jaguar F type when it was first introduced - beautiful car with a lot of hype at the time. They too stated their target market at Corvette and entry Porsches - yet when the pricing came out they were $10-$20k more than those cars. They also made the mistake...

Kalel, I have not seen an Emira in person. I have watched Jay Leno's review of the Evora last year - and in that review he makes a point of it's ability to fit tall drivers. The link for that review is: Hopefully the Emira will work for you.

If I had to place a bet most of the people in this pic are either from Lotus, the media or posers. The guy to the right with his hands in is pockets - he is going to buy one!

Well..... that's all I will be thinking about the rest of the day! What a sound! Looked pretty stable through the corkscrew - and looked stunning coming into the paddock. Not sure how you could consider the AMG engine after hearing that six but to each his own.

Put deposit down this morning. Not like me to commit to something untested, a year away and without knowing the costing but the Emira looks stunning - with that and Lotus' excepting reputation as Drivers Car I took the leap. Looks like 35 people in my local dealership alone ahead and from...
