I just spent a day Norwich - would be absolutely devastating if true considering the economic impact of lotus on the city. However considering how much capital Lotus has sunk into the modernizing and upgrading the facility at Hethel I don’t buy it. Why would they now spend substantial money...

I was just at the factory doing the tour and I saw panels sprayed in Orange (but not a fully assembled car). It looked incredible!!

I’m not the right guy to provide more info since I’m just an end user customer - but I would love to learn in more detail the ECU info VF was discussing in the other thread!

Coming from the BMW community I have little interest in a piggyback tune, but seeing your info on how the V6 ECU doesn’t even have robust knock protection at higher RPMs was quite alarming - I bet most V6 owners don’t know that (and this level of information IMO should be known to anyone looking...

I was trying to find your posts in the other thread about the limitations of the Emira ECU relating to piggyback tune vs. a flash tune, but it looks like they were deleted. For those of us new to the lotus platform would you mind reposting what you said? Thank you!

AL13 also has AL13 also has the C005 wheels, here’s how they look on a McLaren: https://www.mclarenlife.com/threads/al13-c005r-20-21.117415/?tl=nl Albeit these are probably no cheaper than HREs. I’m leaning toward having Greg at GRP make me a set like these. There’s nothing intrinsically...

Important to note that HRE has had to revise their misleading “made in USA” marketing language over the past few years. The actual forgings and forging process (whether it be the entire wheels, faces, or barrels) are all done by a supplier in Taiwan - all HRE does in the US is mill the blanks...

Are they even legally allowed to keep your deposit if they cannot deliver you a car?

Even if they do it would only be the i4 DCT as the V6 is dead, right? Gotta wonder how strong sales would even be at that point….

Only about 300ish miles over the past month being my DD, but all of the miles have been learning how to drive manual for the first time

A few of us Houston owners are meeting up this weekend if you’re interested!

We have a Houston Emira group for when you pickup your car! https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/houston-owners.5992/

Send me your number and I’ll add you to the group!

IMO everyone on this thread has been pretty civil other than Eagle7's constant pushing of religion and conspiracy theories into this thread. Obvious trolling, but other than that I think there has been solid, civil discussion.

TCJA has zero mechanism to offset future increases in spending or address the long-term cost of government programs. The idea that lawmakers could pass tax legislation today and it will automatically result in cuts to future federal spending is completely unrealistic. The federal budget isn’t a...

You literally said: These tariffs don’t correct trade imbalances the way you’re suggesting. While they might reduce imports in the short term, they also dramatically increase costs for domestic manufacturers that rely on imported parts (if you think GM is going to open a manufacturing facility...

tell me you haven’t read the TCJA extension without telling me you haven’t read the TCJA extension. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/119/hr137/text The TCJA was a real tax cut—it actually lowered tax rates for individuals and corporations, not just some imaginary reduction in a planned...

You’re replying to a guy who still can’t figure out how these tariffs impact domestic automakers who produce cars in the United States - it’s a waste of your time. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out a basic NPV calculation on tariffs vs domestic GDP contraction. short term...

I work in the industry and often between the govt. and private enterprise in the energy/auto industry. No one I’ve spoken to - from those in his administration to executives at domestic and foreign auto brands to the COO of Ford have any idea what the utility of these tariffs are. They are...

Everyone who DMd me their number should be added! For those who need to be added DM me your number and I will add you to the group!

Shall we make a WhatsApp group chat (or any other form of groupchat) for ease to plan meetups?

I have the same spec! I know 2 other people in the Houston area who’ll be getting their emiras shortly - maybe we can do a Houston group meet sometime in the next few weeks

To add a datapoint to to this thread, I just bought a Seneca on white 2024 V6 FE with front end PPF, exhaust, and 4500 miles for 87k

Just got mine yesterday - also in Houston!

I’ve been trying to buy a blue on tan or blue on white manual V6 car since December. High 80s-90k is about what I’ve seen on the market.

Is there a source for the 2GR production run ending in Q2/Q3 ‘25? Been trying to find more info

I honestly didn't think it was too shocking to see it go to 87k after seeing the yellow one on C&B in December. There is a 5% BAT buyer fee so the buyer paid $91,350 which I think is still a fantastic deal for the car. There was one with 1700 miles that was bid to 85.5k (and sold for that +...

1,500 in doc fees sounds ridiculous

BTW…. If anyone knows of a Seneca Emira on white or tan interior that can be had for <$90k please send me a PM.

Wait wtf. I offered them 88k on that blue Emira listed at 93k and they said no. Sent you a PM

Going to try to talk to my dealers local service dept to see if they have heard anything from lotus about doors that have a revised production process or design. This is a pretty elementary issue - should be easy to have the supplier just fix the design or the production process. The fact that...

If doors from the earliest build date to now are having this issue - it doesn’t seem like to me this is a localized problem or problem with a batch of doors - it seems to me this is an intrinsic design or production flaw with the doors - which would mean that it’s not a question of if but a...

Yup… I’m shocked that they’ve been able to essentially leave owners and perspective owners in the dark about this for nearly 2 years about this

Is there still no fix for this issue? Lotus is just replacing the defective doors with more defective doors? If so these cars are going to take a hard hit value wise once they come out of warranty…. What’s the point of having them replace the doors with the same doors again? Seems like you’d...

Just ended today: https://carsandbids.com/auctions/3O7b5ony/2024-lotus-emira-v6-first-edition About ~$89,350 with the C&B Buyers Fee

4.9k miles - currently listed at 89.9k with full PPF at Porsce North Scottsdale. If this car was blue on white or blue on tan it'd be in my garage...

Does this mean there won't be any more Emira V6s coming to the US that aren't first editions until the base models hit the market next April?
