I understand that my tastes are not the sportscar market’s taste, but here’s my 2 cents: This car is nothing unique or special. Multiple very fast cars with hybrid powertrains exist, with not so different power to weight ratios. Nothing unique there. This car will have a very high performance...

It looks like a car with a “high end” body kit on it. To my eyes anyway.

I’m excited there’s a new sportscar entering the world, however…. 1) It looks huge 2) Twin turbo engines never have the same throttle response as NA or positive displacement supercharged engines 3) other stuff in the market has a similar drivetrain/layout 4) I know styling is subjective, but...

If you love the car and the spec, I would probably try to work something out. Extended factory warranty for another year and 10k miles, or something similar. Once sorted, you will probably have a very reliable car. I think I would rather have my car repaired and know the exact history rather...

Would you get another Emira if you successfully got the lemon law applied?

If I had a collection, I would have lots of interesting and outrageous cars. Something like an STO would probably be in the collection. Howev I thought the cars were about to fight each other like 2 characters in Mortal Kombat

I thought the same thing until I saw mine parked next to one. Maybe it was just the color, but it didn’t look as cool as I thought it did in my head. I think the driving experience would have to be overwhelmingly better than the Emira to “steer” me toward a Huracan. Little chance of that as...

“I really don’t want people thinking that I have a lot of money and am bragging.” On the other hand, “haters gonna hate”. The type of people that assume something about me because I have something that they don’t, are the type of people I have absolutely no interest in getting to know.

That transmission would be magical in our car.

It’s probably a good thing they didn’t have any of the wilder colors available when I got my FE2. I am very happy with Osmium Silver, and honestly I think it will age very well. However… I just might have gone for the orange or purple that are now available. I have pretty restrained taste in...

I already have a beautiful woman’s approval (most days anyway), so I’m good there! My wife was actually the one who pushed my to pull the trigger and buy my Emira!

6 year old me didn’t care a flip about impressing anyone. I mostly cared about watching cartoons on Saturday morning and playing with hot wheels.

This morning, in the court of public opinion, my car was judged cooler than a Lamborghini Huracan. There was a local car shown in a church parking lot this morning, and I pulled in next to an orange Huracan. Let me say here that if I had the resources, or more accurately, felt more comfortable...

I think the whole video was AI. According to The Internet, Lotus makes barely running garbage with “dodgy” reliability, and you just can’t match Porsche quality, workmanship, and mechanical perfection. I’m pretty sure no Porsche has ever suffered a mechanical breakdown, so this video was either...

So, not a TVR? Just kidding! I’d love to see them make a comeback, in almost any form except SUV or crossover…
