USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[DPB]

Back to Raleigh from Wilmington with this beauty. I was SO happy with the spec immediately once I saw it in person. The 2 hour drive home was fantastic. At my first stop at a gas station at least 5 people stopped and stared. The young lady at the register said, "we don't see many cars like that 'round here." I can't describe how stunning it is in real life. This car is gonna be a blast.

I did find Sport suspension to be a bit more bumpy than I expected on I-40 from Wilmington to Raleigh but need more time with it and other roads to assess. Of course on a highway Touring is likely to be better but I haven't had a chance yet to push it through any tight turns.

EDIT: Shane and Shane and Brian (Biz Mgr) from Cape Fear were all a pleasure to work with. It was a great overall experience.

Yay! It’s great to see you taking delivery today! Now there are at least 2 Emiras in Raleigh! We’ll have to meet up soon and compare notes!

Collected mine yesterday from Lotus of Austin. Some gymnastics necessary.

Second delivery at Lotus Cape Fear…….first one to drive off the lot though

Apparently I just missed you as I arrived about 3pm. Looks like the next Cars and Coffee Morrisville is likely to see multiple Emiras on the next go around. Let the fun begin!

69 additional units arrived at the Port of Baltimore on Wednesday

Nice.

DM me for a superb transport connection.

Mine...... is not.

 

[Nova]

Mine...... is not.

Our cars are probably getting loaded on a boat as we speak. My feeling is that we will see ours by the end of March or early April.

 

[VL3X]

Unfortunately my car isn’t on either ship. Hopefully soon!

Soon! Welcome to the forum!!

Congrats to all, now lets get to 600 pages lol

I was planning to print it out on a single sheet of paper with like octuple-spacing so I could elegantly unfurl it like a scroll down onto the ground and have it keep rolling.

And say to the salesman, "don't worry, we'll get through this soon..."

 

[Nova]

How can you tell they’re CDN?

The chassis codes A and B are for US federal sport and touring suspension, and C and D are for Canadian sport and touring suspension, respectively.

I don't know if there are any actual differences between US and CA chassis... The rest of the world just shares the same set of LHD and RHD sport and touring chassis codes.

I too am confident about April ... but the year is still a bit fuzzy.

Heehee. People like us are kind of missing out on that whole "pinch me I can't believe it's really happening" excitement because the CARB approval is not a sudden event for us, but just an event in transition. We are like hungry people watching our burrito getting made behind the counter - impatiently shuffling towards checkout.

Legendary ...oh and the car looks good also

 

[Atlantis Blue Emira]

A little late to the party, but she arrived home safely. Now off to my first supercar event (20 people could register, and only Lambos, Ferraris, Maserati's and Porsche), on and then me.

You think they even know this car is on the roads now?

I don't know if there are any actual differences between US and CA chassis... The rest of the world just shares the same set of LHD and RHD sport and touring chassis codes.

As per usual I bet the only difference is the CA versions include a required French language version of the pamphlets in the glovebox (which prevents a lot of US products being available in Canada when everybody here speaks English).

Although seriously I do wonder if there could be a slight tune difference as Canada got approved 2-3 weeks ago based on EPA, and seemingly didn’t need CARB…although couldn’t this create the same issue if a CAN car was sold to someone in a CARB state?
