Are most Lotus customers in Canada of Chinese descent? What's with the 888?

What does 888 mean in Chinese?

In Chinese numerology, 888 usually means triple fortune, as s form a strengthening of the digit 8. On its own, the number 8 is often associated with great fortune, wealth and spiritual enlightenment. Hence, 888 is considered triple.

my guess is if the numbers float your boat the waiting line will be cut in half, agree/disagree?

 

[JAY]

So how much for i4 first edition

 

[Zedder]

I'm I correct in assuming that the yellow "S" standard options will be extra cost on the base versions in the future?

So how much for i4 first edition

The I4 FE price is not known yet anywhere in the world until now.

We have to speculate for the base V6 and I4 FE.

 

[god7illa]

So with desirable (to me anyway) options , approx CDN$122.6k
Add est of perhaps $2.5k delivery/fees?
ON tax 13%
QC tax 14.975%

Total out the door, $141.3k ON / $143.8k QC

Ouch.

 

[HiddenLotus]

Zero information on i4 First Edition. We expect $130-140k OOTD.

For the V6, with luxury tax, adding black pack, destination fees, regular tax. You will be spending $140-150k for this thing.

I told my customers the pricing yesterday. 80% of them have backed out, the rest are waiting on the base V6 in 2023 or....when a redesigned Cayman will be coming out with a C8 Z06 that is cheaper. Some are previous Evora customers that will be buying a lotus even if it were 200k.


Good luck to all you early adopters in Canada.

I asked my salesman what was the destination charge for an Evora GT at the moment.
He told me 2 000$US for transport + 800$ for preparation fees. ( I dont know if that 800$ was in USD or CAD )
Let's hope those fees could be a bit lower for the Emira but chances are near zero.
Meanwhile destination charge for Porsche are 1 500$CAD.

What means '' black alcantara headliner '' ?

Does that mean the interior roof is in alcantara instead of some sort of clothe tissu ?

 

[p.rob]

no info on the base V6 (which makes sens if they don't wan't to compromise FE sales), but I'll still be waiting I think
