What is this? I thought US had no ADAS?

Those are just ultrasonic proximity (parking) sensors from my understanding, not what you need for ADAS.

So is this an option for our FE's? I thought that was only bundled with the ADAS.

The front parking sensors are a part of the Convenience Pack, not the ADAS pack, which includes "adaptive cruise control, anti-collision system, fatigue alert, road sign information, vehicle speed limiter, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert, lane change assist."
 
Yes, that’s a parking sensor. There are 2 in the front, but the second one is not as visible in that picture.

So did they add all of that now? The website still says only rear parking sensors are part of the package under "comfort".
 
I just moved back to Jacksonville. If these are at World Imports, I'll try to go do some recon of the rear bumpers later today or first thing tomorrow morning. This is the most exciting development in years on this forum :ROFLMAO:

That's where they are at.

No bumper covers. Hilariously there was a cat licking himself on the rear decklid when I showed up. Imagine if they were at the port and instead it was seagulls shitting on them for 2 months haha.

I have a few more quick photos I’ll post when I get back home. This car looks so much better in person, I’m excited.

Edit: typo

Hey at least is was a kitty, and not a crocodile or whatever... 😅

In any case, thanks for this great photo, and for answering one of the last remaining questions we had about North American Emiras! You've done a great service to this forum. 🙏

Which FL dealer was this? Sorry if I missed it earlier
 
For those wondering (and I know you are out there), the transportation truck was fully enclosed and there were more Emira’s in it. It was likely going further south, so Lotus of Orlando and Naples might be getting some cars delivered today too.
 
Most of the credit goes to @DaaS, I never would've expected them to arrive at dealers this fast, let alone at a smaller one in Jacksonville of all places. Both cars had "not for sale" stickers on the windshield. Either because of the pending CARB approval or maybe dealer demos? Probably the former if I had to guess.

I didn't hang around long because I felt weird loitering in a gated lot of import cars, but with the exception of the amber reflectors in the headlight housings, the cars looked visually identical to the euro spec cars we're used to. More low quality run and gun photos attached.
