My FE v6 mt is locked but I’m curious too. If the books are closed on v6 mt FE, production moves to i4 FE, and if the UK lotus website is anything to go by v6 deliveries won’t commence again until 2026. That just seems like a big gap.
I believe v6 Auto Trans is in production rest of this year, leading up to 14.
Yes, it'll make v6 MT scarce for a bit.

My dealer said the V6 will get stopped for good by the end of this year. Who knows if that’s correct but I guess the i4 will have a longer shelf life for emissions and it will be more efficient manufacturing one drive train.

No, V6 manual will still be available which you can build from the base edition but V6 production will probably end before 2028 though since Toyota have retired it from all their model line.
