    Information and China - Geely and spyware? What's the chances it does not report?

    They'll have one more data point, which is whatever they can grab from your phone when you connect. So contact list, messaging history, browsing history, account passwords maybe? Not sure how much they can actually get there, but my fiancée works in Cybersecurity, specifically nation state...

    USA & Canada pricing

    Siiiiigh. Sorry guys, looks like I’m out. I’m a MT-only dude, and $94K is about 20K farther than I can reach. I’ll catch you in maybe 3-4 years, when I can get my dream car second-hand. Could somebody please order a Magma Red 6MT for me, and not track it? 😂😂😂

    Base and First Edition specs and configuration options coming through...

    I'm holding my breath for US prices to be released, but it looks like FE might be out of my price range... siiiiiigh... I knew it was a long shot, but I've still got my fingers crossed just in case. It's 6MT or nothing for me... do we know at all if the base model might be available with the V6...

    Base and First Edition specs and configuration options coming through...

    I’m refreshing the page non-stop, trying to access the Uk site on VPN, but it just shows a disclaimer about the configurations… I can’t actually see the configuration options. 😭

    Black Pack?

    I've gone back and forth on this so much! I think I've settled on No, because I can always put a black wrap on the top if I change my mind, but going to magma red from black would be impossible. Also the black top looks amazing, but I'm seeing it on so many cars right now that it might date...

    Getting used to rear wheel drive - experiences?

    Bahaha that's a really cool Z render! If the new one looked more like that, if might have been my fallback too if the Emira were priced too high! (fingers crossed!). Sadly I've never been able to like the interior of the 350 and 370, despite trying to on 2 separate occasions... but the 300zx...

    Getting used to rear wheel drive - experiences?

    Bahaha I also had a TT 300ZX at 21... fishtailed it and totalled it within 2 weeks, I still cry thinking about it today! Ah, to be young and stupid... and total your first great car!

    Getting used to rear wheel drive - experiences?

    RWD is super fun, just be careful in bad weather and you'll be fine. Rain can be fun as it makes it easier to break traction, but I would say be careful in snow - both times I had my 135i in snow, I drove like a cautious baby and still spun out or had scary losses of traction. :ROFLMAO: For...

    Speculative price

    Hey guys, let’s keep it super chill amongst ourselves. We’re not all native English speakers, and none of us actually know where this price thing will land… but we are all Emira fans, so here’s hoping that all of us who want one will be able to afford one! 🤩🤩🤩

    Speculative price

    It did... and if you convert 60,000 British pounds to USD, that is indeed the price equivalent. But it doesn't always work exactly that way. For instance, the BMW M3 starts at 69K USD, but to get it in Europe you're looking at 101K Euros... almost double the price. So I'm crossing my fingers...

    Speculative price

    I'm very curious about price, as that will be the make / break question for me even though I already have my deposit down. I'm thinking it's going to be a lot cheaper than people are guessing right now, given the target competition in the US. My hope is low 60's for the base model... I'm only...

    Intro

    Cheers! This might be my first Lotus too... just looks too good to pass up! A fitting sendoff maybe not just for Lotus, but for the entire era of Manual transmission, Hydraulic steering, Gas-powered cars. Bring on the electric autonomous future, but this museum-worthy piece of art is just... 😍
