First Edition special goodies?

Chinese businesses are all about the VIP experience. Even I felt like I was a big shot when I visit.

In the US, buying a 100k plus car gets you a coffee refill for the road from the automatic machine.

I think generally speaking, service in Asia, - especially when it comes to luxury-oriented services -, is so well executed.

When I stayed in The Shilla Hotel in Seoul, South Korea, it was ridiculous how amazing the experience was. It was truly a VIP experience.

I've stayed in various different luxury hotels in the U.S. and I never once felt like they gave a sh!t. Want fresh towels? Get it yourself.

Which is the official emira facebook group ?

There are two, but I prefer to use the all caps LOTUS EMIRA OWNERS group.

Matt is in LOTUS EMIRA OWNERS and Lotus Emira Owners Group. There are several other groups. None are official or factory-endorsed.

Now, something like this would be wonderful. I had these commissioned for some of my cars, but I have been informed that Lotus has actually engaged the company to do one for the Emira.

This is what I got for my Exige S RGB, so the plaque for the Emira will look the same - I will definitely get one when they become available. The areas boxed in red are customised to my requirements. I have had similar plaques commissioned for the GR Yaris and Clio V6 255.

How about lobbying Lotus to include one of these and a Certificate of Provenance?

Where did you or where did they got the drawings from?
Who is able to get these drawings for the Emira?

Well if Porsche is Lotus’s target market I’d say that they are doing well in treating their customers with the disdain that Porsche do.

I’ve got a 911 on order & the dealer has been excellent. Same with BMW tbh.
I still have my deposit down for Emira, but I’m not expecting level of quality you get from a top German car.

I think that is fair comment Jon, Porsche didn't get where they are overnight - I think we will see a step-change in Lotus's offer which will be enough but the Porsche bar will still be higher - I'm okay with that and it sounds like you are too?

100% - There's definitely space for Lotus in the market, not sure they're chasing Porsche buyers to switch, more a case of creating their own community based on British heritage.

Absolutely, while they are both sports car manufacturers and there is overlap in their products and customers, each has their own distinct appeal and Lotus needs to play to its strengths and heritage as you say. (while improving the well-documented historic weaknesses)
