There was no question I wanted an Emira when it was around $70k, but now at around $100k? I am in Boise, ID so no Lotus dealer nearby, which also gives me cold feet. However I was in China last week and they happened to have my exact spec, minus the tan interior. After sitting in it and seeing it in person, I am sure I made the right choice. Am I irritated about the price increase, lack of communication, poor order management, and so much more? Yes! But do I still want one? Yes...
Full disclosure, I think the C8 is actually a far better value, but it is so BIG. My garage is not large, nor am I, so something smaller has more appeal. Also, C8s are EVERYWHERE around here, and I'm interested in something a bit different.
So....last week I finalized my order and got the order confirmation from Lotus yesterday. I selected the i4 because I believe it is WAY detuned for the Emira and there will be all kinds of options to dial it up, if desired. Time will tell if I screwed up. I figure if nothing else I should be able to sell it shortly after purchase for close to what I paid for it, as there are some people out there who are just tired of waiting and will pay extra to have it now.
