    Cancelled my i4 Emira

    The X2 is just for getting to and from swimming. (we're estimated to put around 200km or 120mile a day) between both kids. When i drove the Z3 about a month ago (it's been sitting at my parents for years). I did not enjoy it, seat was small, things falling apart, manual was feeling weird. Now...

    Cancelled my i4 Emira

    Hi All, so i cancelled my deposit for an i4 Emira. We needed another car immediately due to my kids intense swimming schedule. Having 4 cars at home between the two of us and an Emira coming would make no sense. Since we picked up a used BMW X2, I decided that it would best to go Electric for...

    Shmee First drive video out peeps

    That's what I mean. Most likely the sport and Michelin package will be the more expensive option vs touring and goodyear. What else are we getting aside from the badge vs base?

    Shmee First drive video out peeps

    I noticed him complaining about the sport suspension to. Question I have is, if you don't want the sport suspension and the michelin tires, is there really a point to the first edition? And paying the premium for it?

    Am I the only one who doesn’t want a Porsche…

    yeah pretty much. It's also the finance rate or the lease rate. while the market was at at ~1%, Porsche is at 6.9%. I ask why and the sales guy always says "its because they can." I have no issues with that, he was being honest about it. He was willing to show me the amount of sales without...

    Am I the only one who doesn’t want a Porsche…

    Not at all, I detest porsche, aside from the old 944/948 and the 928. Bought Z3 over boxster Bought q7 over cayenne/panamera (mainly finance rate) Bought r8 over 911 gt3 Bought 335i GT over Macan (only bc the macan was new and only available models were fully spec'd) Bought lc over 911 c4s...

    No regrets on reversing my position

    I am unsure what you are saying. You state at the beginning that everyone can't get past the look of the car. Obviously, it's fricken gorgeous. But then you say, we are planning to buy the Emira for other people other then ourselves? Hello, we think it looks gorgeous, hence we are buying it...

    Reviews, Opinions and Emotions

    100% agree, the LC is not a sportscar in any sense of that word. It is a very plush grand tourer, but when you are at the right throttle input, it screams like an F1 car and at WOT, sounds like a muscle car. It's downshifts are outright heavenly music to my ears. Lexus wanted to build a car...

    Whatcha think? (Poll)

    not many, i voted 5-9. I think most of us are so far behind the deposit list that we will get a chance to test the car out before we move forward.

    Now that reviews are out is anyone having 2nd thoughts about Emira ?

    in reality the biggest thing i'm not seeing in these reviews are "excitement" very very monotone, just another day in the office type of thing. Maybe we need more Youtube reviewers to review this car, they seem to have much more excitement.

    Now that reviews are out is anyone having 2nd thoughts about Emira ?

    I've purchased a number of vehicles undriven. Z3, R8 and LC500 Convertible. All worked out great, especially the LC500, reviews were awesome and owning it, I've felt every bit as blown away as all the reviewers. I am now leaning towards cancelling my deposit and just getting my wife the 911...

    Reviews, Opinions and Emotions

    I can honestly say I have very mixed emotions right now on the Emira. Just like hot models, you lust for the looks, but you fall in love with the personality. What i got out of all those reviews were, meh. When I drive my Lexus LC, It is a gorgeous looking car, but like the emira, it is not...

    Will you use a front plate or hope you don't get pulled over??

    i got my Lexus LC500 last september. Here in Ontario Canada, its a law to have front and back plates. I decided to take the chance and left the front plate in my trunk, so far no issues. I will eventually be pulled over, but hoping it won't be anytime soon.

    Oh boy, the time is here, and I'm not ready yet!

    all mid engine cars look very similar to a certain degree.

    A mistake that could have been avoided

    What is wrong with that gap? I think it looks OK to me. Isn't the sport suspension supposed to be slightly lower? Wished they pushed out those wheels closer to the edge.
