Japan - Who and Where are you? (エミーラ・ユーザー生息分布調査)

The second Emira for the Japanese market in October 2022 was said to be off the line and ready for shipping, so the one displayed at the Tokyo Auto Salon is the one that can be driven on public roads in Japan. Since two cars usually fit in a shipping container, the other car should already be in...

I hopped down to Daikoku today, and found only 6 Emiras remaining of the estimated 19 spotted 3 days ago. Assuming 13 cars are on their way to the dealers. Progress!

We now know that there is protective film on the edges, but nothing on the roof or hood.

Thin layer of rust on the rotors, but this is normal. The rust looks even, without deep gouges or signs of cracked pads.

And no front plate mounting holes (yet). Let's see if LCI comes up with an alternative mount.

Assuming 7 are on their way to the dealers. Progress!

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.

Mighty impressive investigative work! Assurance that we are getting closer made my day!

Nice detective work, Odd that protective film is so sparse. Why not on mirrors which project away from body? Lotus can be inscrutable.

From all the photos I’ve seen worldwide, Shadow Grey will be incredibly rare.

Indeed, and mine should arrive soon!

Not in Spain, 4 out of 16 FE 1.0 and 2.0 are Shadow! And all Auto!!

These Spaniards are so weird!!!

Same thoughts too. I am thinking that the white tape is more for visual highlighting (to assist parking inside the dark ship hull) than physical protection.

Sitting In front of the Dark Verdant/Tan EMIRA V6 Manual FE with Virtualmacho in Harajuku, Tokyo on an April Sunday afternoon. We even picked up the last two available Dark Verdant model cars available for sale, in order to have at least something to glance at during the endless waiting days/hours until our genuine cars magically appear some time in the future.

Surprised all the FE isn’t sold out yet !!

Well, I think I did too much…
(Incl presents for my children)

By the way, cheers! I wish I could be there too!

As far as I know, they ARE all pre-sold (pre-ordered), but some may become available if there is a cancellation. Do you have any other impression, possibly by talking to staff at stores?

If you mean the model cars, there are still a few of the other colors in stock. The actual cars are all accounted for.
