Delay of few months? You should just stay in it, and not worry about alternatives.
I got out of it and got a refund on my initial deposit because it would have been 2 more years for me.
To each their own. I'm curious though - what fits your criteria for your preferences?
Based on your previous replies, it seems like you're better off with a Cayman GT4.
Honestly at this point, the best way forward is to have zero expectations. I actually ordered my M2C back in 2019 without ever even driving it (no dealers had one available on the floor, so finding one to test drive was impossible) and took my chances.
I was pleasantly surprised.
I'm sure...
The Emira itself doesn't really have any red flag faults to me, so I'm still looking forward to it; what ruined it for me is I got sick of the delays and radio silence from both Lotus and my dealer. But eh, what can you do. First World problems; I'll just suck it up.
I am, however, really keen...
Don't care at all for the next-gen M2. Exterior design looks awful, imo, and not a fan of the wall to wall screens.
I'm biased but I like my F87 M2 Competition. Looks awesome to me and is incredibly fun to drive. It also still has ANALOG gauges; back when BMW didn't go completely mad yet.
I see. Happy to be wrong here.
So you're saying I should be getting a call BEFORE Q3 2023 from my dealer and get delivery in Q3 2023?
If that's the case, that's great. The website does not make that very clear, and I've had zero comms from my dealer so I have no idea what the process actually is.
You said Q1 2023. I think you're mistaking "Arriving in Q3 2023" to mean deliveries in Q3 2023. That is not right.
Like I said before, you only get to configure in Q3 2023 (for U.S.), with deliveries in 2024, depending on where you are in line with your dealer.
Can someone keep me honest here?
Where are you getting that information?
It states Q3 2023 for Base V6 on the website.
It's on the official Lotus configurator for U.S. Not sure about Canada, but I imagine all of North America is going to be the same, timeline wise?
