New Emira Configurator!

[meenboli]

Only the i4 and V6 Auto currently get the options of coloured stitching and TDC marker on the (common to those 2 variants) "flappy paddle" wheel. The manual wheel is black Alcantara or leather only. They come from different suppliers....

While this is true - it doesn't make any sense.

I'd like them to explain it to me.

It's like the supplier is in charge.


As a Lotus supplier surely you can't say 'sorry mate - we've only got black cotton' - seems a bit ridiculous! 😂

Lotus needs to offer the Black Leather Interior with different Color Stitching!
The only folks who want Alcantara are those who have never had it before, and thus don't realize the PITA it is to keep clean and how it wears poorly.

Hopefully, they will offer this on the Base models as an upcost option.
Come on Lotus! You are leaving $$ on the Table! Borrow a page from the Porsche Book on how to increase your profits!

Can't say I agree with you here about Alcantara. I had it on my previous Alfa Giulia QV and now on my Supra, and love it. I don't find it hard to clean at all, especially on the seats. On a steering wheel, sure it takes a little extra effort, but still not bad. Ammo NYC has a good tutorial on how to clean it

I just specified a black leather steering wheel with yellow TDC mark and yellow stitching on my HY I4. I had to double check with my dealer to make sure it was available on the leather (not Alcantara) steering wheel. He confirmed it was so I checked the box.

Yes, the i4 has that option, the V6 does not.

Porsche makes lots of profit by offering Deviated Stitching.... Lotus is missing so much....☹️

absolutely. i would 100% pay an unreasonable amount extra for a little stripe

And custom exterior paint colours!! 😂😡🤬

I also like Porsche's reasonable ($500) option of having interior trim components painted to match the exterior. I think it helps the flow from outside to inside the cabin.

Any news? on Base Configurator? Should be anytime now.

 

[EZcheezy]

no news. someone said their dealer said 45 more days when they called about a week ago.

who knows how accurate that is tho, probably a total guess from the dealer

That's what they said 3 months ago.
