    Fatigue Detection?

    I could see me not buying a new “normal” car again to be honest, even an ICE powered one. I think my little Fiesta ST which is coming up to three years old will be a keeper for daily duties; even if I decide to opt into the company car scheme at some point I’d most likely keep it.

    Any Ice Grey regrets?

    No regrets here, Cosmos with Ice is a stunning combination! I treated my interior with Gtechniq Leather Guard and the seats etc. wipe clean easily. I’d say I’m slightly conscious of wearing dark jeans etc. but I don’t obsess over it. If nothing else, having a light interior encourages you to...

    EVO: BMW M2 v Porsche Boxster GTS v Lotus Emira v Alpine A110 v Ford Mustang

    I posted some thoughts here in regard to pricing: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/pricing-thoughts.6568/ The Cayman offers exceptional value for money in my opinion, and I think that’s the main issue. Personally I’m not sure the M2 or Mustang GT are truly direct competitors, although I can...

    Will you buy one today?

    No problem! Interior: Black leather with yellow stitching and highlights, and yellow TDC (I resisted the yellow seat belts!). Wheels: Black diamond cut (original pattern). Calipers: Yellow. Black Pack: Extended lower. That's my perfect spec really, the only thing I'm not sure about is the...

    Will you buy one today?

    I just spec’d up a Turbo SE in Purple Haze, I didn’t go OTT with the options and it came out at £101,105.00. It looked absolutely stunning I have to say! It’s a lot of money, but as per my pricing thread is actually competitive against comparable cars. I’m sure some potential customers are...

    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    I agree, I had actually thought about nominating the Vantage! They’re a lovely looking car, just “right” from any angle as you say but I particularly like the rear. They can be picked up fairly cheaply in the UK, my Mrs is rather keen on them as well…. Hmmm…. :unsure:

    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    Personally I prefer the F40, I find it a “purer” design which has aged timelessly. Only my opinion of course!

    Wow - I might be going to the I4 Darkside

    I posted my thoughts in another thread, but I’m a manual guy through and through (or so I thought!). The Emira i4 though is too good to overlook in my opinion, it’s a great package. I’m very happy with mine and it’s “only” the 360bhp version!

    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    The part in bold is what I was getting at upthread when I mentioned the MC20. I really like the look of most supercars to be honest, but things like the Aventador aren’t beautiful in my opinion. It’s extremely impressive to look at, but in an aggressive, purposeful way as you say.

    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    And also in the eye of the beholder!

    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    In terms of modern cars I agree (coupe or cielo, they’re both stunning). The styling isn’t overly aggressive and has a slightly feminine look which makes it genuinely beautiful to me.
