The 2 Nimbus in front of the Seneca are not visible in the first photo, so 4 more Emiras (total 13) are on the way, I think.
And, according to the LOTUS Fukuoka’s blog, one magma will be displayed in the showroom soon. So maybe one or more magma were there too, if the ship was same.
Not that much😁
I heard the first ship was reaching in middle of March and already in PDI, so those are not the first if the ship wasn’t delay.
Wish our cars start delivering in a moment!
BTW, I can’t find any magma one. It will be a rare colour maybe.
Same thing is happening in Japan which was the largest market of Lotus in Elise era, but they never let even test drive yet.
So, I changed my mind to think this situation as “Lotus is working hard to preparing, shooting issues, and getting quality up for us”.
Sorry, I don’t know.
But if it is only show car, we might be able to see it in SANC’s showroom right after the Tokyo Motor show ends.
According to my words, the PDI is taking long time, it maybe maybe maybe a test drive car. (Or, maybe only a press-demo car in closed course or so…)
My dream car was the Elise for almost 20 yrs, and bought official demo car in Japan in 2020. BUT Emira smashed my head and sold it for same reason as you. I want the Emira to be truly mine.
If you can keep Ferrari in some ways, it will be your best choise I think, but if not, you should keep...
It is SANC Ashiya’s demo car.
See the link below.
EMIRA V6 FIRST EDITIONデモカー 間もなくご準備させて頂けます。
Funny thing is, LCI doesn’t have the demo car yet. IDK what’s going on.
I heard some cars maybe arrive in April to May, but due to the delays, dealers are not quite sure for the date, so they decide not to tell specific date for the customers until they can be sure. And also, the PDI is getting long time, heard from friend in Yokohama...
Since my local dealer and I don’t have any detail of BE options, I haven’t drop the 2nd deposit.
If (even the fastest) BE will be affected, then it might be highter price than FE + wrapping cost! 😱
From my experience with Elise and Exige, no need to worry, it is Lotus as usual.
When I fasten my seat belt, when I look around, when I reseat, etc. they made noises.
It won't bother you for long.
I’m sorry to hear your frustration with dealer. Hope it would be solved when you found the another...
@scoates If you don’t mind, would you please take some photos under the direct sunlight? I want to know how Magma looks with yellow calipers and diamond cut wheels.
Thank you.
Some colours had car name because they were the exclusive colours. e.g. Elise blue.
(But Final Edition of Elise and Exige, could had other car’s colour. Like Exige + Elise Blue, Elise + Evora Silver, etc.)
Anyways, I still cannot believe the Emira will have those colours in the future yet.
If...
Base options unveiled?
I’m going for white BE, but dealer says no information at all so am planning to switch to dealer’s pre-ordered FE in some point soon.
Thank you for the detailed information.
Because I have cancelled my order last year due to the war beginning, I have to choose from the cars which are dealership ordered to sell. In the cars, I cannot find Seneca+Ice(+Bp) combo, which I was loved last year😂
So, based on the information you...
Small, but I am planning to add the Emira logo under the LOTUS on rear.
And maybe adding some accent stripes as PB racing does.
When I wrap it in white in the future, leave the back from around the rear wheel in the original colour. (currently no image)
I started to think of wrapping Emira.
Because interior is as is, I cannot make white with yellow accent if I buy magma (which will have red stitch).
White with ice grey is too much to me, so shadow became out of choise now.
Which means, seneca is one of my best choice? It is very general spec...
Actually it is not so important to be an early adopter, but I fell in love with Emira😍
Money is fine, but the colour is problem. Because I love all 6 colours and white which TG reviewed.
I can only blame the Lotus colour designers for making the choice difficult.
In addition, I have time...
Yeah, definitely you are right! Thank you.
The next problem is the colour.
I still cannot figure out the Magma and Seneca because I haven’t see them in person. And both of them have many faces when people take photos and vids.
I actually want a seneca because my Elise is in blue, but I don’t...
I left here once but am back.
Still struggling because I can still buy some of V6 MT FEs. I am also interested in BE colours, e.g. white.
I need a help to choose, please?😂
