I agree (speculation from a questionable source). The Emira is a world car and subject to broad emission regulations including emissions taxes). It makes no sense to spec a car solely to US tastes. Selling less of a higher-end product against formidable market competition isn't a winning...

Last ICE maintains relevancy

Well done, mate!

Start thinking of your Emira as 'old school' cool when car batteries start to multiply. Simply revolting.....

Hard not to see where this is headed. This either kills the Emira in two years or belies the death of the turbo 4 which gets battery assist. Life wil be different for sure. Thanks for sharing.

That is correct and equally applies to US market.. paint code screen shot taken at dealer during service.

Per my v6 MT service today: CEM is Central Electronic Module & VDDM is Vehicle Dynamics Domain Master. I have no additional info, but those updates resolved Drive Mode access beyond Touring.

Also, see my post about Drive Mode selection issue. I was limited to Touring for some reason. The solution involved a Vehicle Dynamics Domain Master software update (among 4 other official software updates for 2025). I was told the Emira limits itself to Touring Mode when other issues exist...

Issue update: 5 software updates were performed by Dealer, two which involved Central Electronic module and Vehicle Dynamics Domain Master. I suspect the latter was the culprit. Problem solved! Advice to Forum members: stay current with software updates!

V6 continues for 2026 as MT only. If you prefer AT your choice is the i4 ( per dealer chat today).

Interesting/dismal Emira sales versus prior years. This was always a niche enthusiast car and early adopters had their needs met. Silver lining? Exclusivity & Collectible Status.

Incredibly informative and interesting. I still feel the US market is different (with similarities). Love it, buy it, enjoy it for the engagement but view it in emotional not financial terms. Thanks for sharing.

What was the resolution for this? Mine won't shift out of Tour mode to Sport or Track. I'm at 3600 miles. Thanks.

Is that Osmium.....or a wrap?
