Poll: Lotus Emira Discussion

[Housey]

I'm still on for September build, according to Lotus' latest update last week - however pinch of salt and all. Think I'll still go for it, sold the 911 to do this so might as well I guess?

If V6 manual I think Feb 2023 sadly

Ouch, another 5 months on top of what they are officially saying? It's possible of course, but what makes you think this? inside info tell us Housey!!

Noooo just overheard stuff. Could be miles off

As of last week mine was scheduled for October build and November delivery but have cancelled the car now.

Catching up on this thread and just saw this, a bit of a shame as you seemed really keen to get one.

Hi there

I may revisit but probably wait for AMG version or a GT4 variant, servicing and warranty options now available:

Enhance | Our Lotus Service Plan & Warranty | Lotus Cars United Kingdom

Lotus Service Plan is the simplest, most cost-effective way to take care of your car’s routine service and maintenance needs during the first three years of your ownership.

www.lotuscars.com

I must say about £500 per year for servicing is very reasonable for a car with essentially supercar looks, but granted its not spectacular under the metal.
Warranty also at £1799 for two years is pretty reasonable as I am sure Lotus have factored in the continue increasing cost the country is facing at the moment.

Yeah keep me informed as I hybrid work and when I am in the office there is never any idea as to what wheels I've come to the office in.

Pickup date confirmed as Friday 11th Nov at Hethel.

@Gibbo likely to be around the OCUK that afternoon? It'd be pretty late in the day by the time I got there though - totally no worries if you won't be about!

Unsure at present, drop me a reminder next week and I don't think many are getting a delivery this year now, so well done.

[SeatIbiza]

Spoke to Lotus yesterday, mine is Feb now

 

[Axeboy]

I was hoping to consider the base AMG when it came out as an alternative to my other option, but the way things are going, its going to be a fair while before we see any

Sticking with my Ariel order for now but half hoped that this would temp me away

The green looks really nice in that video. Much nicer than in the other videos I've seen.

20kg maximum for behind the seats seems rather unnecessarily low. I'd think it'd be pretty easy to exceed that.
