    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    That F8 Tributo is a beautiful car, and from all angles!!!

    Will you buy one today?

    I only buy sport cars that I am excited about. I would not buy one that I am ambivalent about, but I am really enjoying my Emira!!!

    Wow - I might be going to the I4 Darkside

    I made that decision 6 months ago and am pleased with my decision to go with the AMG 4 Emira, this coming from a "manual only" guy in buying sport cars. Make sure you get to drive it with the driver's side (left) window down, that turbo sound is very entertaining!!!

    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    I have always liked the Dino. The Emira and the Dino are to me of the same character, just from different generations (comparing it to my AMG 4 Emira)

    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    I am 65. I have owned more than 50 sport cars. My opinion is that the Emira is the most beautiful car I have owned or seen. My previous standard was the Ferrari 458. What competes with the Emira for the best-looking sports car? The lines are well designed with excellent curvy sculpture that...

    I4 HP and torque, 472 torque reading?

    If the update detunes it, I don't want an update! I like it the way I bought it.

    I4 HP and torque, 472 torque reading?

    I now have 1400 miles on my I4 US spec, finally can open it up! My max torque reading is 472, HP hits 400 and stops reading higher after that though it is obviously higher, consistently just stops reading at 400 HP. Seat of the pants feels like the 472 torque is correct and feels way more than...

    911T vs Emira

    My thoughts after 1370 miles of ownership a 24 Emira I4 (US version) and previous ownership of an 18 911T, 18 GT3, 20 911S Subjective thoughts. 1. the Emira looks better (I like to go in the Garage just to look at it, it is artwork!) 2. the Emira is more fun to drive. Factual info. 3. The Emira...

    New/used Emira or used Evora GT430??

    I think it comes down to your personal preference, for me it would be worth the wait to get an Emira. I have had 3 Evora, the last one was a 21 Evora Gt that I traded in on the Emira. The Emira is every bit the sports car to me, but with a perfect blend of luxury, and I really like the looks of...

    I4 Vs V6

    I am on my fifth week of AMG Emira (400 hp US spec) ownership, traded in my 21 Evora GT manual for it. I am very happy with my choice; I like it much better than I thought I would. I was concerned the shifting would be too slow based on the two-year-old reviews, but it isn't slow at all, not as...

    V6 and i4 side by side

    I purchased a 24 Emira 4 cylinder, AMG DCT, I am really impressed with it, it is the 400 hp with the DCT upgrade, I am very happy with it! Great turbo sounds!
