Currently 1956 manuals in the US.
Wow, that's wild! Only 759 Evora GTs were ever made and just 535 were manual. The fact that nearly 4x as many manual Emiras are in the US blows my mind!

Happy for recipients. It's still somewhat of an exclusive club.Sweet, my car is on that 3/30 arrival!
Thanks for these updates Nova
All foreign cars are 25% tariff. Including Lotus. All other UK imports is 10%... my scotch cabinet just went up...Happy for recipients. It's still somewhat of an exclusive club.
Looks like tariff with UK will be 10 percent, so it's your move Lotus.
Wondering how quickly dealer lots will clear?
Pretty sure the new tariffs announced today are ALL supplemental tariffs...so the car tariff would be 35% if that's the case. And the scotch tariff...I think Trump's previous 25% tariff on scotch, from 2019, is still in effect?All foreign cars are 25% tariff. Including Lotus.

OUCH.
The tariff of 25% is what they charge Lotus USA / dealers for the car. So it’s going to be less than advertised pricing. True invoice pricing. My guess is 10k increase.How much of an increase does that put on the consumer?

I assumed that Lotus will cover some of the tariff costs. 15K at most I would think. I am also assuming USD pricing of 99K.That would mean the dealer is paying 40K for the car. It’s going to be a lot worse than that.
Got ya. That would be great, but I’m not sure they are in a position to do so.I assumed that Lotus will cover some of the tariff costs. 15K at most I would think. I am also assuming USD pricing of 99K.
The 2GR-FE are made in Japan as no one uses it except Lotus and some Australian car company that make like 10-20 cars a year. I think practically most parts used in the Emira are not produced in the UK and US.. Hethel pretty much only provide the painting and assembly labour.For one, tariff is charged at the dock, so it is on the price Lotus USA pays to Lotus UK, before their profit, and before dealer markup. So less than the MSRP.
Further, any components sourced from the USA don't count. Dunno where they get their Corolla engines, but Toyota has a plant in Huntsville, Alabama. If you get GoodYear tires, those are also USA.

And chassis! The leather comes from UK too (Scottland). I'm sure many other parts as well.
