Ah, yes, I did miss that out in the post...duly corrected. Have been away from this forum for a while, so may not be up to speed, but when is Emira V6 production due to cease, if this is not already on the cards or it has happened already?

Following the recent Autumn Budget, road tax (VED) for new vehicles with emissions beyond a certain threshold was going to effectively double. According to the following article, the Emira V6 is one of the 59, and the only Lotus in the list! 59 Cars Facing £2,745 Road Tax Increase from April 2025

Too late, as I have already cancelled, but I do certainly hope Lotus manage to pull their finger out and perform as any well established business would, which would mean putting their customers first. My experience of dealing with Lotus CC has been mixed. I think there are some staff who...

This is very true, and certainly in my experience, after having communicated with Lotus CC on many an occasion. I have now cancelled my order, and an excerpt from my email to Lotus CC, pasted below, will explain why: "Just to be clear I am cancelling my order since I have been frustrated with...

Excellent, and looks like, at least for now, ChatGPT has managed to fool GPTZero, which is supposed to identify if the text has been written by a human or AI-generated. "Your text is likely to be written entirely by a human The nature of AI-generated content is changing constantly. While we...

Very similar to my circumstances. I had already decided that delivery in Q1 2024 was fine, and confirmed to Lotus CC months ago saying so (as I had already made plans for 2023). The response "if you miss this slot (i.e. lock in on 8th March 2023) then we cannot guarantee when in 2024 yours will...

Indeed, and knowing what is involved in how to commission/set up and run such an operation, and if necessary migrate such a small number of leads/contact points between platforms, the level of incompetence really shines through. This is further exacerbated by the lack of communication within the...

Let's just say that I have my reasons, and end this conversation.

I fully understand that human error is a possibility (as the saying goes "garbage in, garbage out") and will confirm with Lotus CC once I have more info. There is much that I have not shared, but suffice to say, my order has been messed around with before this discrepancy came to light, and I...

Understand that, but the Order Reserved date has been moved forward by a year (5th Nov 2022 instead of the actual of 8th Nov 2021) without any explanation. As such, this completely blows the reservation order and delivery timelines, which perhaps explains why I was pushed out to Q1 2024, when...

Interesting...wonder what criteria Lotus used to move orders around since the dates don't reflect reality. I was first promised delivery in Spring 2023, then moved to Q1 2024 before receiving the email to confirm (lock in spec) by 8th March 2023 (not 16th March as shown in the screenshot above)...

Question to those who have access to the personalised 'My Lotus' page. Are all details shown therein accurate, except perhaps the specification of your Emira, which of course you can change? Here is an excerpt of mine - the Order Reserved date (bottom right) is a year later than the date I...

Fantastic! (y) I too have a GR Yaris Circuit Pack, and love it for what it is, so this makes it a very compelling proposition indeed. Thanks for your feedback. Must admit, I have gone off Lotus (the company, not the Emira) big time, and will know this week (depending on Lotus CC's response, if...

The A110 R's purposeful looks and weight reduction (over its siblings) seems like quite the recipe. Did you test drive the S and/or GT before settling on the R? Enjoy! Good to hear that the Alpine buying experience, unlike Lotus, has been wholly positive. (y) Would be a no brainer for me if it...
