Couple comments on the Lotus Emira Facebook Group are saying they are delaying the tour till Oct now. Which I'm assuming pricing will be delayed as well.

Ugh... If we have to wait until Oct for detailed info, I'll lose my mind.

To me it would be wise for Lotus to announce pricing and details asap as there will inevitably be some who will drop out. It would give them a better idea of where they really need to be production-wise.

If a large percentage drops off the reservation list after details are announced, it would them give some insight as to hype vs reality.

I'm hanging in there as long as I can...but I'm not 100% committed until I know more. $80k start for 1st Edition seems worth it in some ways especially if they throw in extra stuff. But if later models have more hp, more colors, more choices maybe 1st Ed doesn't make sense.
At $90k start... It's just gonna depend on how the Pcar market is at that point in time.

I'm right there with you. $90k+ for a first year Lotus coming from a new production factory with minimal US dealer support and not the strongest history of build quality (Toyota engine and trans aside)... yeah, I'm not willing to drop nearly $100k on that risk. The Emira is a beautiful car, but I will wait it out for a couple years, watch reviews, and let the bugs get worked out. For $80k? Sure.. I'll give it a shot. Otherwise I'm getting a 981 GT4 to play with for a couple years.

Same exact wavelength as you!

They've already said it'll be September, be patient. Also, price doesn't tell the whole story. There will be a tour in November when we'll actually get to sit in the cars, see materials, paints, etc. in person. After which point in (I believe) December is when you have to make a decision. That's when we'll really know who's serious and who isn't.

I'm not as price sensitive as others, but I'm very much quality/performance/exclusivity sensitive. So if they come out with the car and it's cheap, but it also doesn't perform at least as well as the outgoing Evora GT or the quality is unimpressie, I'll be:

I'm obviously new to Lotus. But some of the old timers on LT have been here before. Many are saying "expect delays."
Lotus has already released pricing in a way. They have already released power specs... So at this point, I don't understand why Sept is the magical month?
Will any of this information change in the matter of a few weeks? Admittedly, I don't know how it works and I'm sure I'm way over simplifying it.
As to the tour, given the lack of dealerships, many won't have the opportunity to see an Emira in person before ordering. Luckily I do have one of the largest dealers in my state (Bellevue), but if the car is there at a time I can't get up there to see it, then I'll be relying on everyone else's opinion to make my decision.

I guess if I was a guy I could relate?

Unless you were really referring to something nautical?

 

[Noregrts]

This is worse than studying for final exam, and not knowing what is going to be on the test........

( possibly better analogy than the carsex?)

As long as it's just an analogy.... 🤣

 

[Noregrts]

Lotus themselves said "September time" when someone asked them when they were releasing specs and pricing on Instagram.
We will have that info this month. I remember reading Sept 7th somewhere a while ago, but who knows now.

 

[Noregrts]

Didn't someone say that Gator said the launch editions would be six figures? I swore someone posted that...I can't be 100% sure. Between rumors, speculation, and the limited information we actually have, it's hard to keep things straight.

 

[Noregrts]

It was not Gator. maybe Los Gatos

No they said Gator.
