I like your taste in cars and garages!😁

Throw me into the camp that is simply not impressed with the KEF Audio system. I really was excited because KEF seems to make decent home speakers, however, I feel this system is ok at best for a premium upgrade. I reset everything, and I will agree that there is plenty of bass at 0, but it is...

Welp - the bad news is that I did not receive the car I ordered. BUT, the good news is that my dealership just received a '25 that was configured very similarly, but in my original first choice color combo! That said, I picked up my SENECA BLUE over TAN V6 Manual last Friday from World...

I have been in touch with my dealership regularly the past few weeks, because my order has been in limbo as well. However, in a massive stroke of luck for me, they happened to recently receive a few pre-tariff 2025 V6 manuals last week, one of which I really liked a lot. So I inquired about...

Bingo! This is my other concern. If the car arrives, will there be any long term support? 6 months ago, I had no doubts about Lotus remaining in the US. Now I wonder if they'll stay. Heck, I wonder if Porsche will stay.

Outside of the one email we've all seen which I believe originated from 1 dealership (which may have other motives), I have not heard official from Lotus or my dealership. In fact, they are planning an open house with Emira test drives. That said, until I hear back, I am continuing to hold out...

Aaaand, let's get back on topic. So, in the last 24 hours, I have seen ads from both Lotus of Naples and World Imports in Jacksonville featuring open houses and Emira test drives. Would they be doing this if Lotus was no longer shipping to the US? Other than the one screenshot of an email, we...

Exactly. Remember the 1970's Malaise era prior to foreign competition? Those cars were awful. I sort of feel the same about today's American cars, or should we say trucks, seeing as there are so few car models made. If you want a coupe, sedan or hatchback, you almost HAVE to buy foreign.

El_Tonto - That looks like the perfect garage to me.(y)

F***! F***! F***! :mad: I was afraid of this.

Heck, they don't appeal to me either! Unless you want a Corvette or a Mustang, it's going to be a depressing period for performance car enthusiasts.

I fall into this category. I placed my order in December, with a projected delivery in summer, and this whole tariff thing has been on my mind for the last 2 months, hence the reason I started this thread. So far, I have not heard anything from my dealership, but I have been soul searching...

6 months would be sweet! That would make mine late June. (y)

Nice find!👍 I was on the fence about purchasing a used one versus ordering a new one. I settled upon a new one with the help of my wife and daughter who both told me to get exactly what I wanted for once. 😁 However, the wait is definitely a challenge.

This is my thought exactly. One cannot replace the other, but instead rather complement each other. The Tesla is the perfect daily driver. Fantastic power and response, amazing technology, almost no maintenance required, and super low cost of operation when charging at home. The Emira is a...

Correct - V6 Manual.

I'm on cars.com as we speak.:) Since I am not in any hurry, I think I am going to hold out to see what happens. I would really prefer to take delivery of a fresh 2025 in my preferred configuration if at all possible.

Yes....That is exactly the feeling I have as well. I certainly hope I don't get caught up in the crossfire, but I preparing myself for this decision if it does occur.

I sure hope that is the case. So much uncertainty.

The March 25% tariff is for Canada and Mexico. From what I read, the new proposal for April is for ALL imported cars.

There have also been rumblings about a 25% tariff on autos around April 2nd. Of course, it is still all speculation at this point, however, I would like to understand if this would be passed on to me even though I have submitted my order prior.

So, I have an Emira on order, and it is not expected until late summer. However, in light of recent developments, I am now really concerned about the car being tariffed upon arrival. If a 25% tariff is enacted before arrival, will I be on the hook for an additional $25k? I am hoping that...

I placed my order for a V6 manual on 12/23/24 to secure a position for when the order books open in March. Delivery expected late summer.

The 911T is really interesting, however at 50% more cost than an Emira, it loses appeal for me. On a related note, although my local dealer is friendly enough, it is of no help if you cannot get an allocation for anything interesting (911T, Cayman GTS4.0, etc). Sure, I can buy a used one, but...

I like the idea of it, but as a pleasure car, I lose interest at Emira money. I also fully expect these to depreciate like rocks, and lack of availability in the US is a non-starter as well.

On December 23rd, I finally placed an order for my 2025 Emira! Here are the details: Dark Verdant over Ice Grey, V6, manual, touring suspension, lower black pack, 20" silver 10 spoke wheels, yellow brakes and badges, alcantara steering wheel, and KEF audio. It's not expected until late summer...

Thanks for providing great feedback - Much appreciated! 👍

I am considering ordering an Emira V6 6M, and I am looking for those with experience purchasing from World Imports/Lotus of Jacksonville prior to placing an order. For those of you who have used this dealership, how would you rate your experience? Did the entire order fee apply toward down...
