Just for grins I took the current data from Nova's spreadsheet, here are the totals by year (to date). .

Maybe a mod could change the subject line of this thread to something descriptive of the content, like: Very happy with addition of Alpine tweeters

Looking at Nova's tracking sheet, it's interesting and/or weird to see that in 2025, not a single 4-cylinder car has been shipped to US or Canada.

Sorry making 4038 Ford GTs isn’t a good enough resume for you lol.

They should have hired Steve Saleen to set up the Emira factory. Maybe they still should. When Ford decided to make the 2005-2006 Ford GT, they hired him to set up a small factory to build the cars for two years. He did a great job, they built 2000 cars a year, and those cars were very high...

I know this was covered as an update to the thread titled “Matt Windle Promoted,” but easy to miss there, and seems significant enough to deserve its own thread. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/business-corporate/exclusive-lotus-name-china-boss-replacement-matt-windle

Oops, maybe it CAN hurt lol…..

Link doesn't work in the US, is this the bag? https://flightknight.com/collections/56x45x25cm/products/flight-knight-fk51?variant=44601043386645

not sure, you might have to ask a moderator to make the change...

You should change the title of this thread to: My experience with Victory Lotus in NJ Or something similar.

I just listened to it while walking my dog in the 90 degree (at 9:00 AM) heat. I've been a Lotus fan for 60 years (at age 10), and have owned three, starting with an Elan Sprint in the 1980's. Sorry to say I agree with almost every word. My suspicion is that the core problem is that Lotus...

Details from the good folks at Gator: We've finally gotten clarification on how Lotus Cars Americas is managing U.S. import tariffs and have some updates about the upcoming Emira models. Lotus has stated that vehicles imported from the U.K. are subject to a newly increased 10% tariff upon...

That is the most pathetic press release I've ever seen. A news release with no actual news. Lotus revolutionizes the sports car world once again by introducing improvements that take the Lotus Emira sophistication and performance to astounding new levels! 1) One stiffer motor mount because...

Email from Gator May 22, about a week ago: I spoke with our Regional Sales Representative at Lotus Cars Americas earlier this week to check in on the status of tariffs and order shipments. He responded that shipments are still paused while Lotus awaits official documentation from the U.S...

. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. (Hanlon's razor)

Wheel and buttons SOLD.

Bump for new price

current pricing from GRP .

I have a 993 and like it a lot. To me, the new ones are fast and sophisticated, but also gigantic, bloated caricatures.

The 911 design actually dates back to 1963!

So you couldn’t have a plate that says Leader? Must be a Canada thing, I have Emira plate in Ohio. .

I did these three years ago, they’re not perfect but probably ok for some purposes. https://www.lotustalk.com/threads/emira-silhouette-logo.487077/?post_id=6279335#post-6279335

Sorry, I won’t sell the buttons separately.

Pic of buttons. .

EDIT: SOLD Things have changed and I won’t be getting an Emira New, never installed round steering wheel from GRP. Black leather. Plus real buttons (also from GRP). Current GRP price for wheel and buttons is $1075 plus shipping. EDIT: My NEW price $750 shipped for steering wheel and buttons...

Actually November 15th, almost 4 months ago. But maybe they needed to do everything again for a new model year.

Here’s an alternate badge. (Maybe more appropriate since Lotus is connected to Volvo through Geely?) https://www.ebay.com/itm/256829802342 The backstory is here- scroll down to the yellow section. https://www.prancingmoose.com/index.html

That is not exactly recent news, it's a press release from September 2024. https://media.lotuscars.com/en/news-articles-regional/new-performance-flagship-turbo-se-and-revised-lineup-lotus-emira-range.html

Looks good to me!

It wouldn't be blasphemy to use blue, it would just be weird. Like a green Coke logo. .

The yellow and green is not the current logo, which is yellow and black (no green). I'd either use the correct current yellow logo or the black and white version. Both available here. https://media.lotuscars.com/en/galleries/logos.html
