USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[KAR120C]

Just curious, what is everyone expecting to hear from an Emira perspective? I'm guessing a lot more discussion about the Eletre than the Emira, except maybe base pricing and configurator dates.

Exactly!

I talked to Paul at Gentry Lane on Monday and he had no news to share but said call back next week after John the owner returns from the dealer meeting. Hope they can share some positive news on NA deliveries. I am in Lotus withdrawal after selling my Esprit V8 last fall !

Ah, the Esprit. Summer 1990 I saw my first one. Red, tan interior (weren’t they all) South Florida. I did an interior repair on the driver footwell. I never saw another “in the wild” since.

Yes obviously.

Just wanted some opinions.

I'm expecting to hear the price increase justifications even with the exchange rate differential.

 

[Aero]

I'm expecting to hear 'standby for upcoming important news, soon'

Im staying optimistic that there will not be a price increase. It will all be good news.

Also going to communicate they are ready to start, production and we will get our cars this summer.

Do you mean 5K order on top of 5K deposit on Oct 7, 2022 for FE? I assume deposit would have been prior to July 2021?

There's a blue Emira First Edition (appears to be another LHD Euro spec) and a lovely green Eletre at this dealer event in SoCal today. Let's hope we get some actual useful Emira news from our dealers later this week.

I am so hoping you are correct sir!

The eletre really looks great, but not dealing with this BS again lol.

I heard that because they only scheduled 3 hours (30min tea break you know), they don't have time to discuss updates, pricing, news on the Emira. Only time for Electre, Etat, Elbow, and Eray (oh wait that is already taken). Will be scheduling another meeting in May just to keep everyone hanging on just a little bit longer when they announce the first cars will be arriving for Christmas.

 

[Magma]

And why couldn't that green have been on the Emira?

 

[benjh1028]

I think they are excited to announce that Lotus will rename the U.S. bound "Emira" to "Eon" to better reflect the essence of the vehicle as well as answer the nagging question of "how long do we have to wait".
