Starting this thread to link up with other Calgary / Alberta / local-ish Emira owners, starting with this cool dude I was lucky enough to meet out on the road today! Send me a DM to get added to our Emira WhatsApp group chat. 😎

https://www.motor1.com/features/737811/aston-martin-porsche-skyscrapers-miami-dubai/ I've always been skeptical of the "listen everyone, if our company is ever going to survive then we need to expand into SUV sales!" cop-out that so many sports car companies have parroted over the years, and...

Well, the day has finally arrived! Yesterday I drove this thing off the lot: And what a journey it's been! Actually, so much time had passed since I first ordered this car 2 years, 10 months, and 17 days ago (let's call it 3 years) that my life has kind of moved on, and I honestly wasn't sure...

Just got sent all my pre-purchase documentation from my dealer today, and was surprised to see they want me to sign a document stating I will not sell the car within the first 12 months of ownership. There's also a first right of refusal agreement saying they reserve the right to match any...

I thought some other people might get a kick out of this... Current market price for a used 2013 Mercedes ML 500 is between $25–30k CAD; why even bother with this quote, then?? 😆 For context, sometime during the last year, pistons # 5 & 6 of the engine suffered some kind of fault that caused...

Curious which cars do this for other people. I'll go first:

I think I speak for many of us here when I say that the past couple of months on this forum have been a difficult time, as we've watched a number of (in many cases, longtime) Emira owners get fed up with & sell their vehicles. Many of us — especially those of us in Canada & the US, already...

A lot of new Emira video reviews have come out over the past couple days, and while watching them I couldn't help but notice that the cars in these videos STILL have twisted seatbelts (see below). I don't understand — why are Emiras still being produced with the seatbelts installed in this way...

May as well kick off the new "Cosmos Black" photos thread with these fresh shots from Goodwood 2023, courtesy of @TomE! 😎🖤

Just noticed this car over on autogespot:

Found this great video of an experienced driver doing some high speed runs on the autobahn, as well as a couple informal 0–60 tests at the end: And for those who enjoyed that, it looks like he also did another similar video of all B road driving:

Moderator note: moved from another thread to start a new topic This got me thinking: what's an example of a forever car? Do you (or others here) personally own any forever cars?

Equal parts heartwarming and exciting. This is exactly the kind of heritage-celebrating video people have been asking for from Lotus all year! :)

I happened upon this photo set on Instagram and thought other people might also get a chuckle. :) Question: is this better or worse than the classic "car rim coffee table"?

@Pops68 , if you're up for it, I thought I would move our discussion here so that it had more room to breathe. :) So, alright... You got that out of your system. 😆 Why do you think climate change is a big hoax? Are you aware that almost every scientist around the world today believes that...

Posted a half hour ago. I'm currently trying to ask if it's a customer car or a demo. Also, there are 3 Emira's in the transport truck (Seneca, Hethel, and Verdant), but only one (Verdant) is unloaded in the video, so I'm unclear if they're all for the Antwerp dealership. Exciting times!!

Any way to get this customer to write a post on here once they take delivery? 😄

They say that if you want something you should speak it into existence... I sure can't wait to see more photos of this beauty in Vivid Red!! I threw in a Photoshop rendering at the end because it'd be nice to have at least one photo in this thread that isn't potato quality. :)

Saw a new spy shot of a Zinc Grey car posted on Instagram a couple hours ago (below), so I figured I'd kick off a new thread for this colour, just like the other FE colours have. :)

Just saw this today in my autotrader alerts. 😄 Do you guys think we'll be able to flip our Emira FE allocations for a similar price when they arrive??? 😉 Edit: Looks like the original posting has already been taken down. (Lol)

I thought I would start a thread just for us Canuck forum members so that we can also feel cool. 😎 This afternoon I received the following email from my local Calgary dealer. Overall, it's the same core message as the other Lotus emails that have been doing the rounds lately, but it's nice to...

This is without a doubt the funniest / dumbest used car ad I've ever seen. 🤣 So first of all, when you click on the ad, photo #1 is actually a digital drawing of the car. A bit annoying, but I've seen worse photos in some ads and so I'm thinking, I guess this guy just wants to show off certain...

https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2022-acura-nsx-type-s-vs-porsche-911-carrera-gts-comparison-test-review/ Motortrend reviewers essentially rate the 911 GTS as being a better car in every possible way than the NSX Type S (acceleration, lateral grip, steering, braking, etc.). Which is a shame...

Figured a couple people on here might find it interesting. 🧑‍🔧

When the Emira review embargo lifted 3 weeks ago, people on here were saying "The Carfection review is coming, they're just still editing it". Well, that was 3 weeks ago; how much longer til it arrives? Dying for new content here...

For about the third time this month, I just finished watching someone on the street outside of my building back into the car behind them while exiting from a parallel park, then simply drive off without even getting out to inspect the damage. This is starting to make me nervous about ever...

Just saw that Lotus has released a new online configurator for the Eletre, and I'm shocked how high-quality it is. Smooth rotations, true 3D, gorgeous lighting effects, realistic backgrounds, and that's just using my phone! Check it out for yourselves: link Hey Lotus, can you create a similar...

Using this gorgeous source photo uploaded by @kbhoz , I put together some Emira wallpapers for people to drool over. Let me know if you'd like me to make you a custom edit with: - upper black pack (including body colour mirrors) - a different body colour (any flat colour except black — I can't...

I whipped together some hopefully-more realistic Emira paint colour renderings based on those spy shots that were leaked a couple weeks ago, because we've all got nothing better to do! 🤪

I spent yesterday creating a new batch of Emira paint colour Photoshops using the Hethel Yellow paint from Lotus' new, much more accurate online configurator as my base. I tried my absolute best to painstakingly match each one to an existing paint colour offering from either Lotus, Lamborghini...
