definitely snagging some upgrades in the future. I bought this thing cash, so I am poor now lol. Have to wait until I recoup some funds. I Might have to sell some feet pics or start an only fans. Anyone want to subscribe to a 33 year old dude? I can take some shirtless photos on top of the...

Can't recommend a vette enough as a nice alternative. It was delivered yesterday. I couldn't stop smiling whipping this thing around town. Definitely get a 2lt if finances allow for it. The upgraded features are so nice like heads up display, sound system and all the tech stuff. It's also...

I was anti vette for a while after a very short 1lt test drive. It just left me feeling unimpressed but I got to test drive a 2lt and really take it out for an extended time. I was able to push it and Rev it out. I officially admit I was wrong. The car is amazing. I just bought one 2023 2lt...

Okay that makes me a feel a bit better. I'm in the same boat, I want it regardless lol but it is a concern. I'm hoping some local shops or even a few hours away could handle the vast majority of repairs. I am just concerned with it being a lotus and as we know there isn't many on the road...

Thanks!

I am US buyer and recently moved to El Paso Texas from Naples FL area. The closest dealer is about 8 hours away now. I went with the v6 FE as many of you noted it's the more known engine and should have less issues. I just don't know how feasible it will be to take the car in for maintenance...

I was told the exact same thing. 2500 down and no more with Naples. I was also told they would give me the money back if I ever needed to cancel as they would have no issues selling the car. I am assuming every dealer is different. Naples makes ridiculous money and they usually put a premium...

I agree it's BS and the communication is beyond abysmal. I think we all know another delay is happening. I mean most of our British friends across the pond are still without a car. I do believe they could provide better timelines but ultimately I'm sure it's to reduce people dropping out. If...

I have no hope of receiving it early next year. I am pretty much set on it being Septemberish. A part of me wants to walk away for a plethora of reasons, but damnit I love the look of this car and can't find anything in the price range that mimics it. I'll take a MC20 but that's 280+ lol so...

Ya I think about it all the time. That's why I went with the V6 I feel like most shops could work on the Toyota engine, but I'm worried about any other major issues. I will only be driving it once a week. I work from home. I won't be doing any track days so probably 2k miles a year. I...

This is what scares me the most. I am getting an FE emira from Naples. The wife and I recently moved to el paso and the closest lotus dealer is 8 hours in Dallas. I am not very mechanically inclined besides changing tires and air filters lol so I'm nervous on what to do if an issue arrises...

That's true to each there own. And the vette is a lot of car in terms of power. I just like a sense of uniqueness in a car. The camaro definitely doesn't get that either lol as they are a dime a dozen here too. But I know the lotus is coming and the vette was 97k while the camaro was 49k...

I had to get a hold me over car as the emira wait is killing me. I test drove a 2023 vette and a 2022 camaro v8. I left with camaro. It was 40k cheaper and I enjoyed it so much more. Honestly if you are getting the emira I would hold off on a vette unless you just have cash burning a whole...

This is my thoughts as well. I mean as an early depositor you have been waiting close to 2 years. Don't just drop out unless of course financing is an issue. Other than that at least take possession and flip it. You dont have to be a dealer and bump it up 40k but you should be entitled to a...

Lol for real you don't really see many on the road. I have always liked the LC. But ive never seen it with the Bespoke option and orange/black interior. I think that sets it over the edge. Takes it from a pretty car to sexy as hell.

Damn why did you post this? Now you got me building one lol. I love it man, congrats. Still likely waiting on the Emira, as its been 2 years, but if they hit me with another delay I am about to join you with a Lexus lol.

This is exactly how I feel. I keep looking at other cars, but I know deep down the Emira is what I want and I will hate myself once I see one on the road. I am waiting it out and being thankful I at least snagged a FE spot. Plus with how few are actually entering the US, I am almost certain...

No worries brother the delays have gotten to us all lol

I stated I am an FE with March production. I was originally supposed to be may production this year but I think the Auto is why I got delayed to the last production slots of the FEs

I'm V6 auto as well. But I did make the cut for FE. I am March production and hoping May or June delivery. Honestly man earliest I would say for you is end of 2023. But truthfully I bet you are looking more like 2024. Ive also learned with lotus it's better to be a pessimist than an...

I think going for the auto really delayed the lotus for me. I'm in the US and I was orginally hoping to have it by years end, now I'm just hoping next summer lol.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check into some bmws as well. I was looking at the M series but a little pricey for a hold me over car. But what you mentioned could be a great alternative.

I have been looking at the supra too. They are amazing for the price. That's what I'm looking for something I can snag for 50 or below. That's what got me looking into the challenger some. I found some 21s with V8 485 hp for around 45k. It might pair nice with the emira as I'm sure it's a...

Love the spyders they are badass. But I agree the waiting game is crazy. I was actually talking about that with some buddies. I bet you could make a killing just tossing your name on all these lists for rare FEs then flipping them. Shoot even the bronco was going for like 30k above msrp.

Smart move. I just never thought we'd be waiting 2 years. I should have held onto the jag. The 911 we actually sold for 5k more than we bought it for and thats after 2 years of use and plenty of wear and tear. I lost 5k on the jag. I thought about another jag too but I'd be looking at a...

So, I got my email for a March 2023 production which would probably mean Summer 2023 possession. That is almost a year and I don't think I can wait that long driving only my Santa Cruz (this thing goes 0 to 60 in around an hour). I want a car that is reasonable yet fun to hold me off. I have...

I got the same Email from Naples, but mine was originally May 2022 production and now March 2023. So likely wont see that car until Next summer. I am debating on buying something in the meantime. I sold my 2018 Jag F type once I got confirmation I was getting a FE. I was told at that time...

I was July 21st deposit date at Naples. I was told I was in the 60s at the time. I got the call for an FE back in May. Good shit you got a FE too. I was pretty much certain I missed the boat by not depositing earlier. Now hopefully we get the car before Christmas. They told me 4-5 months...

They told me 4 to 5 months. Worst case 6 months if they get behind in production. I'm just hoping I get it before Christmas and I'll be happy.

Thanks for the advice. I'm with you. I locked in this morning. V6 here I come.

Wow are you my twin? I was in the same boat Seneca and nimbus. Ultimately went with the nimbus. I like the bright colors in theory but I'm more of a low-key guy so I think it might get obnoxious over time. The nimbus looks amazing imo, but either way you can't got wrong.

Well if she leaves me I assume her new boyfriend will like the car as well. So It will be a nice gift for him. Bros before hoes am I right?

Damn I was literally reading this thread and just got the call from Naples that my time has come. My only conundrum is I want to share the car with my wife so she can enjoy it too, but she can't drive manual and has no desire to learn. So is it worth it grabbing the auto V6 because I'm...

Totally agree. Plus if you even look up the costs of their Evoras and other cars you can find the same thing in Tampa or Miami for 10k off. They try and cater to the excessively rich in Naples. I'm doing well for myself, but I'm not in the boat of wasting 10k to save a 2 hour drive to Tampa lol.

Lol at least we are in this together brother. I've been going crazy trying to figure out what to do. I keep researching other cars but my heart wants to stick with the emira because I've been in this since last July. I was told at the time I was 66th on the list. So I figure I might not get...

Is your dealer, Naples motorsports? I was told they have their allocations but aren't releasing them yet. I just don't get the lack of communication as it makes it impossible to plan. Like If I'm 2023/2024 it would suck but at least I know and I can snag a nice used sports car in the interim...
