USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[Go Kart]

I also have not seen an Emira in person. I have been avoiding it.

It was smaller than I expected, even though I knew the dimensions beforehand. It’s a very impressive car to be sure. I didn’t wring it out on the drive since it was busy city streets, but my wife did and she was grinning ear to ear after.

The wait will be worth it if you’ve never seen or driven one. For all the delivery delays, QC issues, underwhelming customer service… I can readily admit it’s a special car despite all of that.

I have not seen a Emira in person, I want the first one to be mine, which should be next week
but it was the same for my Elise back in 2006, never saw one or test drove and the same for my Evora GT I have now, also the same for my C8 HTC, never test drove or sat in one, just factory ordered and drove away. This is also my 3rd Corvette.

Interesting that one is a warm grey and the other is a cool grey.

I didn't realize the Eletre has that carbon fiber trim all around the car. It's a shame the Emira doesn't have any carbon fiber at all, especially for the price...

Speaking of the Eletre, a few more showed up at port, probably still just demo cars, however, they are all 2023.

Spotted at Velocity Honolulu. Looks just like a baby supercar next to the MC20, which is like 3x the price. And they both have V6

I was kinda shocked at the amount of carbon fiber on the SUV

Having shifted both the Emira and S2000 now -- ain't no way man -- the Emira is clunky and vague in comparison.

I guess what I don't like about the S2000 is what many people like about it. People think that S2000 has a really clear mechanical engagement feeling, while I found it just not smooth and rough. Shifting the S2000 makes me feel like peeling and eating a green banana. My gt3 mt is very smooth but it is not as mechanical or too refined. Emira shifter is more mechanical than the gt3 mt, and more refined than a S2000. Just my subjective opinion.

I have a Seneca Blue on order. I always loved the way the MC20 looks and wondered how close the blues were. How did the two colors compare in person? Just curious.

Early demo car? It has black pack on the roof and A pillars, but blue mirrors, and chrome lettering and exhaust tips. I sometimes wish I could have spec'd my car this way. But ordered without full black pack and can have the option later of wrapping the roof and A pillars. But hey, the MC20 looks great without a black roof so I'm good!

I heard that the first batch of deliveries for Galpin orders were unloaded today.

This Emira looks to have the same front passenger brake issue that mine has. The pad or rotor near the hub isn't making contact. Mine is getting both replaced as we speak. This is now the third Emira I have seen with this.

I think that's some camera color balancing action. I think it yellowed the SUV to balance against the blue sky and blued the car to pop from the CMU. Look at the pavement in both shots. Its the same in the overall shot but different in the individuals

is it visually obvious or do you notice something when you drive?

if that's from the 3/29 shipment, two weeks from port to across the US ain't bad.

Big if true!

That means I could be a week away!!

Wish I loved the look of the Eletre. I don't. Hoping they make a smaller, better looking model around size of Range Rover Evoque

I'm OK with the size, but somewhere there are Pontiac Aztec owners sayin' "hey, look at that!"
