Congrats! It's great to have more Emiras in the area!I can see mine in the list. my dealer (in austin TX) told me it's en route. Counting the days now.... Apparently they messed up my order by adding the forged wheels when I asked for standard... at least it's not a bad option lol.
I'm starting to believe the same. I'm pretty sure Lotus haven't made any final decisions on stopping cars being sold in the US. Nobody is sure what is going to happen. I've also noticed in just a few months Emira's have gone from short supply in the US selling above retail, to now having stock sitting on lots not selling. I can't help but think the dealers have seen an opportunity come up to get some sales.Please consider the source. This is coming from a dealer (albeit a very reputable one amongst the US Lotus community). I'm old enough, and have purchased enough cars in my life to surmise this is more about moving current inventory cars, than what will actually happen in the future. Additionally, if you understand manufacturing, cost of goods sold accounting and how tariffs work, you'd quickly realize any car already built and on a boat would not be impacted.
I've compiled all of the VINs I could find for the US and Canadian Emira shipments. What's missing is that I could only find 99 of the 150 VINs for the first shipment dated 12/1/2023. So this list is incomplete. This list will be updated as new shipments arrive.
The AT cars haven't been at popular as MT, nor the i4 as the V6.I'm starting to believe the same. I'm pretty sure Lotus haven't made any final decisions on stopping cars being sold in the US.

Hey all, good news, more Emiras arrived in Baltimore on 3/25/2025, this time including some cars for Canada. I'm not sure how the tariffs would affect the cars going to Canada, but hopefully there won't be an issue. Image links to tracking sheet with VIN numbers:

Got my VIN yesterday and dealer says the car has cleared customs, but I don’t see on this list.Hey all, good news, more Emiras arrived in Baltimore on 3/25/2025, this time including some cars for Canada.

Shipments can clear customs before arrival.Question is does arriving in port counts or does the goods on the boat have to clear custom?
Does anyone have an accurate count of how many Emiras have been imported into the US to date? Would also specifically like to know how many V6 manuals
