Like most of the others the price was confirmed but the freight/delivery cost was not - just guessed at. Also didn't promise delivery date but told me to expect it in June.

It all depends on how you plan to use each car. There is no question that the Ferrari will appreciate and become more valuable as time goes - as long as you don't drive it much! That's the dilemma I, personally, would have the most trouble with. A manual 430 that's driven a lot - with high...

Thanks for update. I contacted Gentry to see what they know and was told November 2 and 3rd are likely dates there but no other details. It may be the worst area of town to try a test drive but after all this waiting I'm super pumped just to see it in person.

been driving since late May for my Lotus "fix" - its awesome.

Thanks for sharing the videos -hadn't seen the #27 video before. I have followed Harry for years - and have seen a few videos on his Elan. I have to admit that the recent Harry video you posted - and I first saw in January - inspired me to find and buy a Sprint - which I did in May of this...

My experience with Gentry has been the same as @Emira2222 and @Captain.Kirk - basically no information initiated by Gentry. A couple times over the last year I have shared information from this forum with them and got a response but that's about it. Besides telling me I won't get a FE I have...

the great question of "when will THEN be NOW" answered by Mel Brooks:

I would also count myself as someone looking for the car to stir emotions and make me smile. Not smugly because I "own" it - but because the car is saying something to me that sparks that child like glee. I hope to track it a couple times a year but I won't give a damn about lap times - just a...

I suppose that on reflection none of the reviews should be a surprise. CAR had the car pretty even - but the familiarity and confidence they had built up with the Porsche was too much to declare the Emira a clear winner - but I, personally, was hoping for Emira to be better. EVO is my...

I am. While I was hopeful that the Canadian pricing would come in at a similarly priced Cayman GTS - it really was only "hope". I've never owned a Lotus but as a "car guy" was well aware of their reputation for being incredible handling cars and have watched many reviews of the Evora - Harry's...

With just a quick review of what forum members in Canada are saying their individual dealers have deposits for it sounds like more than 100 Canadian orders. There are two dealers in Toronto and the one I have a deposit with says they had 45 deposits (and that was a month ago) - so assuming the...

Hello fellow Canadian Lotus enthusiasts It has been difficult to get "real" information specific to the Canadian market. The UK and US seem to be much farther ahead with regards to pricing and details. I did just have a brief conversation with Gentry Lane in Toronto and they told me the V6...

From my limited understanding the main reason the Emira will/should sell for less than the current Evora is based on a higher level of volume/demand going through the plant. I heard they only produced 1500 Evora's per year and have a minimum target of 5000 per year of the Emira - this, along...

My dealer forwarded me the notice from Lotus confirming receipt of my order with the Submission I.D. yesterday. It seems the U.K. and US customers are being sent this direct from Lotus - whereas mine was sent to the dealer. In any case it keeps the excitement burning bright!
