Reading between the lines of various car reviewers online plus looking at publication dates for magazines.
I reckon first print reviews will be published this week, on Wednesday 9th. First online reviews I reckon will be just before that, on Tuesday 8th evening.
We know reviewer drives and filming have been done. They wouldn’t want to wait too long after that, as it risks leaks. Type 132 reveal is 29th March so Lotus will be timing that to go into magazines for start of April. Emira stuff therefore needs to be early March, not late March.
I’d previously suggested first review being Top Gear on TV on 27th March. But I think I’ve got that wrong and instead I now think TG will release online on 8th evening and in the magazine on 9th. Autocar have already declared a review coming on 9th, with CAR due a few days later.
I’ll be staying up late on Tuesday night to check if I’m right
