Lotus Emira Future Versions Thread

[Wiz33]

I received the email from Lotus and a link to configure a model online. Out of interest I configured a V6 manual (base price £92,500) with I think all the extras my original FE spec came with
Total price came out at £106,455 then you have to add the initial road fund licence which from April I think is over £5k so on the road price around £112k!!!
I paid £80k two years ago!!.................
When they launched it the price was going to be from £59,995.00!!!

Consider yourself lucky. Look around and see how much price have gone up on everything around you. Restaurant prices around here have gone up 20% on average in the last 4 years.

The other day after going grocery shopping, I was surprised at how much prices seemed to have gone up in the last few months. While going through a stack of things, I found a receipt from a few years ago, and it had almost all the same things we had just purchased, but the total was $145. This same list of items the other day was $249. The wife and I used to be able to go out to lunch only a few years ago, and it would be about $25 with tip. The same restaurants, ordering the same meals today, it's $45 with tip. We don't eat fancy either, it's not like we're buying steak and lobster all the time. Food prices have gotten just ridiculous.

Now I'm not saying I wouldn't want it for less money but the Evora in 2009 had an MSRP of around $73,000. Adjusted for inflation today that's around 108k. My ordered Emira spec is 109k and Id argue the Emira is a far better machine than the 2009 Evora yet essentially held to inflation.

Ok Base V6 is finally in the configurator. And it tops out at 119k. This is a price increase of 7k compared to the same FE spec. I can deal with that.

But what really fucks me up is that almost all the options are stanard on the Turbo SE or very cheap to upgrade while on the V6 everything is optional and costs a big junk of money. For example, you pay like 2k for the alcantara option. The exact same option is 300.- for the Turbo SE, I mean WTF… like this, V6 comes in 10k more than Turbo SE.
