Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

EU President just stated a couple hours ago they are ready for talks with the US and even offered zero for zero tariffs on industrial goods as a starting point.

I was originally going to put in a custom order a few weeks ago, but got cold feet from the impending tariffs and ended up looking around the dealers and finding one locally that was an exact match to my ideal spec which I bought instead. When I talked to the dealer (Victory Lotus in central NJ) they said the V6's are moving but the i4's are sitting, which makes sense given the extensive searching that I did prior to finding my car, all the dealers I looked into had around a 5:1 split of i4 to V6 on the lots. He also said he remembered putting in the order for that specific car, and said they came up with the spec based on what they figured people would want (which is almost identical to the Seneca blue model used in the press photos).

According to Car and Driver, they confirmed with a Lotus rep that shipment is indeed paused. Makes sense until we can settle on what tariff will stay.
