Is there anyway for the buyer to know if the dealer has allocated units? I haven't heard anything from my dealer where I placed the deposit.

Very true. We may have bad luck. My family and friends have had pretty bad experiences with BMWs unfortunately. My in-laws had a 90's BMW 3 series that developed some significant electrical issues. We had a BMW X5 in the 2010's that developed issues around 50k miles mark. We drove the X5...

I have a silly question: I assume by being allocated, means the buyer would be notified by Lotus directly, or the selling dealer, that the buyer has been allocated a car? Or is there another way to know if one is allocated a FE 1.0?

I agree with you and Doug's take as well. He was very fair with the Emira, I thought. Too bad he only had 1/2 a day with the car, whereas with other new cars he has them for much longer to get more familiarity and experience with them. Given only 1/2 a day to take videos, notes, come up with a...

Regarding German cars, I tend to shy away. I have a friend who bought a new $100k Mercedes hardtop convertible, gorgeous. Every time I'd visit, the Mercedes would always be down and out of service, because the hard top mechanism broke again, and dealer wanted $10k to repair again, or some other...

Does late 2022 deposit mean FE 1.0 or FE 2.0?

How much is the 2nd deposit? I put $2.5k deposit on my Emira build in late 2022. Will mine be affected by price increase?

This is my ultimate 3 car garage - NSX, Maserati MC20, and Emira. Already have NSX, deposit on Emira. Trying to see if I can afford a MC20 in addition to what I have without having to get rid of other cars I have, LOL.

I loved the SmokingTire's reviews of the Evora, and of the new NSX. Matt is a riot and he loves the NSX and the Evora. It's a joy just to watch his videos.

I am super excited to see photos of NSXs (both old and new) and Emira side by side. If I am so lucky to have one sooner rather than later, I will definitely be posting side by side photos.

Thank you! The overlap between Lotus and NSX is really neat to see. It really feels right at home here!

Wow, looks super similar to my 91 NSX! Beautiful in every way. What wheels do you have? Love those! And what year / miles? This is becoming an epic NSX thread of future Emira owners!

Wow, that's beautiful. Super rare and perfect condition (perfection!).

Purple? Super rare! What color will your Emira be?

Wow, a lot of ex-NSX owners here. That's great! That means the Lotus Emira should be an excellent fit.

I saw some videos comparing the Cayman 718 to the Emira, and people deciding that the 718 was the better car, just every so slightly. Personally, a sports car needs to be beautiful first (emotional appeal), fun to drive 2nd. The Emira seems to fill both requirements nicely (beautiful, fun to...

Excellent to hear, thanks for putting my mind at ease! This is a car I plan to take long road trips in.

I was more concerned with the visible area behind the driver / passenger seat. That little window in front of the C pillar might allow easy peeking into that area, although I have not seen an Emira in person to verify.

Thank you for the confirmation that the sports suspension will not be overly harsh. My spec is for the sports suspension and I was second guessing myself when I saw Harry's video where he thought sports was too harsh and touring was perfect.

Thank you Tom, for the warm welcome and the treasure trove of knowledge and information here!

I must confess I am not the greatest photographer, and I am usually too busy driving my cars instead of taking photos. Here is a single photo that I took recently that I liked quite a bit.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I think Acura missed the mark when they snubbed the original NSX owners with the introduction of this car. It turns out the vast majority of new NSX owners have owned an original. I was very turned off when they wouldn't let us sit in the car with a...

Regarding privacy glass vs not, one thing to consider is that you may be storing luggage in the area behind the driver, and if you're planning to take the Emira on road trips it might be safer to have privacy glass so people can't see the luggage as readily and try to break in to steal it. I...

I have owned na1 and na2, 2017 and 202. The new NSX was initially a huge disappointment to me, even seeing one in person pre-production at a NSXPO event where NSX owners weren't even allowed to sit in it. My mind changed once I saw a beautiful pearl white and was able to demo test drive a...

Hello, I recently put a deposit down on an Emira in the US, and have been addicted to consuming Emira content ever since. As a lover of mid-engine sports cars, the Lotus cars always intrigued me. The Emira's design language, great interior, and engine / manual transmission is particularly...
