    Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

    Saw some dark coloured emira today on a village road north of Cheltenham I’m guessing it was the gray but it may have been verdant Pulled in to let him past, but he turned into the next house! I definitely had a pang of regret - looks gorgeous on the move!

    Even though I test drove the vantage and bought an R8 instead, I’m still feeling pangs of jealousy- this looks stunning!!

    Prices increase update from Lotus - and stopping of reservations for V6 FE

    It does feel like someone has left a semi solid floater in the lotus brand-equity-bathtub though. If I was Geely I’d be pretty upset about that

    UK Reasons?

    A poll might be useful? 1. Underwhelming test drive 2. Appalling comms and the underlying we don’t give a shit about you as a customer message 3. Concerns driven by 2 re post delivery support, parts and servicing

    call me old fashioned, but for 80k+ I want to be wetting myself with excitement! I was literally swearing and grinning the entire R8 drive. I too found it hard to emotionally detach from my 18 month emira rollercoaster.

    I felt exactly the same after driving the vantage… lovely car, lots of personality… inside a bit weird design wise, but still a very nice place to be and a really engaging drive. I then drove the R8. Better performance better handling, and I figure a lower run cost. The emira has better...

    nearly got the vantage myself, but don't need a daily and the R8 was just on another level know what you mean... when my 2 year warranty goes I'll probably be looking elsewhere again. a more powerful emira could well pique my interest
