    911 Carrera 992 Coupe vs. Emira

    I've been very close as of late to just say F it and cancel my emira deposit and get a base 911 with a few options for the lady.

    This is an amazing video to watch (Full factory build of a custom bronze metallic GT3)

    i am definitely impress, but for the price the car is listed at, it's not what i would call "astonishing" "just take my money" sort of way, but then again, as you can probably tell, i'm not a huge porsche fan.

    This is an amazing video to watch (Full factory build of a custom bronze metallic GT3)

    yes, $99 i 100% agree. Carriers are on the breaking point of losing money every year and that market is fairly competitive. Porsche is nowhere close to losing money every year and we are talking about a $200,000 (Canadian) GT3. That's a big difference. Forks are awesome to, they are $.50 and...

    This is an amazing video to watch (Full factory build of a custom bronze metallic GT3)

    You can literally say that about every single item ever made, it is not specific to porsche. They are one of the most profitable car manufacture if not the most. I'd gladly prefer they drop their margins a little :) but i do not feel the same way you do in regards that we should be glad to throw...

    Not sure what you mean, but margins on the 911 is 50+%. I would like to buy them at a much lower profit for the manufacturer.

    Goodyear eagle F1 for lotus vs Michelin Pilot sport 4s for Porsche?

    I initially was going to go touring, but realize this will be a weekend or occasional drive car. So I've decided to go with sport settings and will go goodyear, I don't feel like spending $3000 on tires every 8k km's for the cup 2s.

    How have we missed this when it's hidden in plain sight? (keys)

    Yeah phone app works great, but I don't mind having a cool looking key either. Something out of the ordinary

    No ADAS on First edition

    yeah i had to research this a little. The V6 will have a normal Hydraulic Steering pump The I4 will have a electrohydraluc steering pump. Supposed to be feel the same, but who knows.

    Thanks to Covid, I only wear sweats now.

    No ADAS on First edition

    I'm ok with missing most of those features. Only one I'm a little disappointed on is the lane change assist, I find that to be very useful sometimes. I don't need to bother looking over my shoulder when I know there's a car already there.

    More details for KEF Audio

    Quite excited to hear the Kef setup. Someone saying that it is only 360w is a concern. I highly doubt it, as 360w for that size cabin is more then enough. The Uni-q drivers when paired with a class-d amp, hopefully the whole system is designed by Kef, I am sure will result in fantastic sound...

    V6 FE drop out to base edition?

    Configurator only works on my phone. If I use the desktop, I can't proceed to spec it out.

    V6 FE drop out to base edition?

    my biggest thing is, what is standard on the base vehicle vs FE. If most of the options that I decide to pick are just standard, then that would mean I would be overpaying for a FE. Ex. Touring setup with Goodyears (this is standard), so by not picking the Sport, would basically lose out on the...

    Canadian Allocations

    I placed my deposit about 1 months go. Anthony told me I was 2nd on the list for i4 fe, cause I wanted to know if I was getting a FE.

    Lotus Emira vs 2023 Corvette Z06

    the fact that i’ve always wanted a lotus (elan), rarity and styling. the 1.3 seconds better 0-60 means nothing to me, i’ve learnt that owning a Lc500. the corvette is awesome for the price, but that’s all it has going for it. i do not like the driver oriented cockpit. i’m sure all of us...

    Value of FE

    This is how i feel about a Porsche, a dime a dozen. Everyone and their grandmas have one. The reason I’ve skipped it 4x now. Z3 over a boxster R8 over a 911 Lc500 over a 911 Emira over a cayman

    If Not The EMIRA .......... WHAT ? .... yes ok blasphemy perhaps

    I like sharp lines, but just like you the c8 is to angular. I actually had a deposit for one, until i decided to get a convertible lc500. I was never in love with the car and was concerned about GM reliability.

    Canadian Allocations

    I will agree, Oakville doesn't seem to know anything.

    If Not The EMIRA .......... WHAT ? .... yes ok blasphemy perhaps

    If I'm not allotted an i4 fe, I may cancel and wait till the electrified version of cayman/boxster releases. My wife will be super happy and can have her porsche.

    Mr Grumpy Pants

    I also ordered a i4, I've been told maybe in late spring, to lockin i4 specs.

    Your final spec color will be/is not what your first instinctive choice was

    All i can say is, glad we are all on the same boat. Thank goodness for wraps/ppf.

    Canadian Allocations

    I put my deposit a month ago. But it was for the i4, my dealer (oakville) told me I was the second i4 deposit they had. Since I wanted to know if I my late deposit would allot me a FE i4

    Your final spec color will be/is not what your first instinctive choice was

    Our last 5 cars have been all white. Before ordering The LC500, I wanted to be bold and go Red or Atomic Silver. But a white LC500 came in and I took it, since I thought it looked beautiful and didn't want to wait for 2022 since I would be charged a luxury tax. White was always second option...

    Gas prices skyrocketing.

    And that is why I purchased the i4. Made an excuse I needed a fuel efficient sports car.

    Lotus cars=no adaptive dampers.

    yeah, i'm just going be experience. The magnetic ride on my R8 was fantastic when it was activated. I could tell a difference immediately vs active dampers.

    Lotus cars=no adaptive dampers.

    I have driven a few cars with adaptive dampers and most currently own The LC500. I can barely tell from comfort to sport +, and this is going across all the cars i have owned and driven. The fact that the Emira has no active dampers doesn't bother me so much, but still wanting to feel how the...

    What are you driving until the Emira arrives?

    This and the yellow one, I no longer have the R8. If I did, I don't think I would have bought the Emira.

    Poll: What are you looking for in the first review?

    You are worried about it looking cheap since it could be raiding the Volvo (luxury) and Geely parts bin? How have previous lotus interiors looked like? I would assume those brands, their interior and the money behind geely, would be anything better then if lotus were to go alone.

    Poll: What are you looking for in the first review?

    For me, since I already own a GT car. I'm looking for, a very raw, old school sports car that emphases strictly on handling (best in class) and comfortable seats and not a crappy interior. The best point and shoot car in Its class and hits well above it. Outright straight line speed takes a...

    not sure how anyone could post that video and say, I'm going to put this amazing mix with it!

    Spec'd up Base OR FE -Is there much in it?

    I have been wondering the same thing also. I have a deposit on the i4, but deep down I'm questioning if i should go with a base V6, since I wouldn't mind the manual transmission. I can live without many things i do not use like cruise control, 18way adjustable seats, even heated seats etc...

    TOP GEAR Review ?...... Total specualtion

    I was watching on Jayemm that the chassis is not an all new design. It's a modification of the Evora chassis.

    !UPDATED! POLL: How many of you have placed a deposit and where are you from?

    I just placed a deposit 1 1/2 weeks ago, but have not heard back from my dealer (Lotus Oakville, ON Canada) about my placement on the i4. Wanted the Manual transmission, but I really can't spend anymore money on it since I recently (Sept 2021) picked up my Lexus LC500 Convertible. Hopefully i...
