Alpine A290 orders

[df76]

Thought I'd start a thread in the right forum, and avoid a more general conversation about the rights and wrongs of EVs..

Anyone had experience of pre-ordering cars in the past? It looks like the first Alpines will arrive too soon for me, and won't be a way of delaying the order. Also not sure if it'll make it onto the salary sacrifice schemes. Some of the first insights into the specs.



Suspect that the GT version would tick many of the boxes for me.

Good point on the small print issue and final vehicle specs, and could be more important if there’s a variation in any battery tech or charging. Also if the prices between the versions is close there could be some regret when monthly payments are not massively different.

Clearly they’re massively constrained by what Renault give them (and permit them to do), but I don’t see the issue with the stated performance levels. Looks just about right for fun on the road.

Why would you pre-order a car (with a deposit) when Alpine haven't said what the cost might be ?

I asked the question last week and I'm still waiting ...

I guess with the deposit being refundable it’s not a huge issue.
