    I bought another Porsche, but I still visit this thread for the entertainment value, and to see the sheer will of those still putting up with this insanity. Here are some ideas for the gift... First Edition "Legendary Waiter" Trophy - A trophy commemorating legendary patience. A Custom Magic...

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    Me too. I ordered a Carrera T in September and it arrived earlier this month. Porsche knows how to treat it's customers. The day after I ordered my car a 911 hype video with my name rendered into the dashboard popped into my inbox to raise excitement. From there, you "Track Your Dream" online...

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    I agree with this. The idea that out of nowhere Lotus is going to sell thousands of Emiras here in the US is highly unlikely for a variety of reasons. Lotus has always been a niche car, and it will remain so. That's a great thing for exclusivity, but not for those that think the Emira is going...

    Are you testy and defensive? Did you actually read my post that you quoted where I said I know all of the cars aren't on there? Interesting. Thanks for the explanation. Yeah, I think there are going to be plenty for sale. Good news for those that don't want to wait.

    Well if 473 cars made it here, and they all get listed, then wouldn't there be more than 123 cars listed for sale on autotrader? I know all of the cars aren't listed on there, but I'm positing the possibility that plenty of cars will be available for people that want them now.

    What's going to be the next step?

    For the early depositors like myself, what's going to happen once production of US vehicles starts? Will there be an additional deposit? If so, any guesses what it will be?

    Emira Review Index [V6 FE]

    I agree with you completely. That doesn't bode well for an honest review from anyone, ever.

    Emira Review Index [V6 FE]

    The most disingenuous thing about EVERY SINGLE REVIEW is that there's zero mention of the sh!t show of problems discussed on this forum. Leno gets a pass, he's in it for the fun. But every single automotive journalist that hasn't mentioned the concerns on here is a fraud. If they didn't do...

    TPMS Issue

    I'm no expert, but my understanding of how TPMS works is that sometimes it will be set off if the difference between 2 tires is too great. First thing I would do is get all 4 tires set to the same pressure. I'm wondering if the 2.18 and 2.48 have a big enough difference to trip the system. That...

    Real 0-60

    When Chapacubra posts up a 'censored' picture of the deposit form and dealership receipt we can then begin to take her post seriously. My guess is that they got lost and wandered over here from vwvortex by accident.

    Emira performance - disappointing?

    I wouldn't hold my breath. I'd say the likelihood of this happening is somewhere in the vicinity of 0%.

    First Emira in Nurburgring ?

    That should make for a good video. Like or dislike Schmee, there is no doubt that he is an amazing driver.

    Emira Issues - from final production cars

    The orange peel in this paint job is absolutely awful. Like, cheap bodyshop repair awful. I start the video right on a really offensive shot, but you'll see it throughout the entire thing if you care to watch it. Some nice video of the car.

    This is true. I had a chance to drive the car twice and the second time was 10x more fun than the first.

    Not good. Between the base and the sides, that seat look like it has 40k miles on it.

    Emira Review Index [V6 FE]

    I've driven my 997 as a daily since 2007 and it's a fine car. I agree that it doesn't stand out, but that's fine because I'm way more focused on how it feels to drive. Porsche definitely delivers on driving pleasure. With that said, the Lotus steering on my test drives was absolutely...

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    Yep, that's what I'm saying. Lotus would have you believe they're "sold out" for 2 years. When the US cars finally arrive I bet a ton will be put up for sale immediately, especially with the new price increase announcement. It gives sellers more latitude to make a quick $5-$7k. Buyers will...

    I think everyone is conflating deposits and names on a list with sales. Lots of people are making statements suggesting that they are the same. They are not.

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    11% is a BIG increase. The whole pricing thing has felt weird from the beginning to be honest. If I remember correctly, the 'loaded' FE costs less than the outgoing Evora GT. So with the Emira you get new striking design, a big interior upgrade, and a ton more tech...for less money. How does...

    Body Color and Appearance: Is maximum brightness really the best?

    I've thought about this too. Nimbus is certainly more under the radar than the Seneca I chose. But I'm not man enough to take a car like this and park it in a restaurant parking lot anyway, so I went for what in my opinion is the most "fun" color. I love them all.

    Emira vs Ferrari - Still not 100% on which to sell

    That looks awesome! Transmission fluid on the floor would have added to the authenticity.
