Has anyone bothering to put a deposit in after February 2022?

People who live next to the plant making these are getting a first delivery almost in 2023, who also put in deposits like the first 30 minutes of it being available. I really do not see any indication that almost anyone on this forum will ever see a car in the next two years AT BEST. Silence is...

once battery powered EV's have a large market share, no one will care about the car industry ever again. Get woke go broke, every time, never not. Appeal to those who do not actually buy anything, or have any sense of style or taste or moral system or universal aesthetic and you will be asking...

SJW - Woke stuff. I mean, the company is owned 51% by a Communist Dictatorship. This stuff has to be brainswashing at maximum. From a REALIST standpoint, the actors in this are not the intended audience for a British sports car. However, it will allow people who are woke to feel ok buying...

98% of the time driving on a road you are not accelerating. maybe 99+%. lightness is felt 100.000% of the time, and works every time too. lighter the car the less stiff one needs to make the suspension

lithium batteries are stupid in cars. including EV's. I rather not have a continuous fire. Just get a less fat girlfriend and use lead batteries. weight problem solved. also, this car is so wide and mid engine that small weight changes like a battery is not that noticeable.

no it doesnt. it should have one. porsche 718's have them even in 4 cylinders.

yesssss

Recommendation: i would buy it and sell it for cocaine.

they might have paid you to take that car though :/ Still, yes, most places are infinitely better of an experience than Lotus. It bodes well when a $25k engine blows and one needs them to replace it! exciting times ahead!

wow. i thought it had port + direct like toyota has on the BRZ/86. This engine is really simple and should be a tank for durability. No turbo, large displacement, Japanese, and has port injection.

nice piston rings never seating ever for the life of the exotic car job. sucks for the owner

I agree that it is possible, if they really made that new assembly line well. Toyota gearbox and engine has the potential to be a forever thing. i hope they dont have a weak link somewhere. Some item that was designed incorrectly due to strange mid-engine layout. Some entertainment system...

i think that is fair. At some point it will not depreciate, float around a bit. I am not certain if the look though is timeless enough. Porsche 718 and 911 have a timeless look to them. I mean, I am buying an Emira, I just am not confident that it anything more than a personal investment vs...

What i said was absolutely correct. sorry mofo's

I actually do not believe the Emira will be notably valuable at any point in time ever. It will just hold value, never go into orbit like a Porsche. When i showed my Porsche 718 Boxster T on order to three girls i take out, they all were like OOoooOO!! I showed them the Emira looking insane...

the spyder is worth a lot more than an Emira this year, next year, 20 years from now. Unless it is a boring build in it, like a bit no frills interior, then ditch it and do it right with an Emira is my vote. I have seen some spyder's with gorgeous interior options, and they look stunning. I...

it is a different look, the black pack. It changes the look. It does not enhance the look. I think it is way overdone. it also scratches and swirls easier. I am not sure everyone is used to very low cars. They look good in mono color paint when low and sporty. The black-pack makes the top...

this is true. I have received new sports cars that off-gas and smell up my garage for two months while they cure. In a colder climate, it really takes even longer

a silly thread but why not? Obviously a GT4RS is going to spank almost any car on winding roads and tracks. it has insane balance and aero and flat-sixes spinup and down with psychotic ease. I cannot imagine how much it is to FIX the GT4-RS lol. Imagine servicing it for any issue? It is a...

about 2 months ago. i had an initial notice in a few days about, then this. my numbers are all over the place nothing related to what you said.

Anyone know what this means? Seems generic but they have not ever contacted me before. I live in New York. I edited it for paranoia: "Dear ~el~jefe~, Thank you for becoming a priority Emira customer. You’re in the fast lane and we’ll let you know first about any important Emira updates as...

Spy network! 😲 🕵️‍♂️:ninja:

yeah, i think i'd get one. really cool and creative.

maybe i can pay off the mofo's under the table to get me a car this summer. seriously i will try and see how that works. i have no scruples. That tour sound kind of cool. Maybe i can say im selling to help an orphanage.

Z06 with its flat plane crank v8 is just one of the best cars to get, if it holds up to mileage. who knows. It is not a pretty car, but it should berreally cool. It is going to be obvious when one is pinning the redline driving around. Emira is a better car. lol.

the four cylinder sold out non stop for the past five years. unable to get one without a wait list. only annoying youtube bros commented on the sound, and they were not buying one. There was more of a demand for 718's vs the prior generation. Due to it being nicer looking and faster and...

i am not surprised that it is similar or faster from 0 mph. What i would be surprised is if it did not explode into a horrible death at 30PSI boost turbo in a 2 liter engine at some point before 100k miles are driven. The camry engine could be pushed for drag purposes into the 550 hp+ range...

I feed off the pain and anguish of humanity as a hobby. But, even if one isnt a sadist, one should still be ok with looking at offensive pixels.

I plan on belt sanding it and then pouring various acids on it to improve it's look

i am pretty sure that is fluids filled numbers for 718, they do not do the dry weight thing as i have seen so far reading and talking about them

i am really into 718's and i can tell you that the 4.0 GTS weighs 3170 lbs with manual transmission. The Emira would be slightly less weight in its FE configuration. The 4.0 GTS with MT + 18 way seats would break 3200lbs. The FE has multidirection seats in it, and so the GTS 4.0 is probably...

one of the commenting people said this: "I sense there was an embargo on the word “Cayman” in exchange for this early drive. I look forward to the comparison. Has this newfound refinement netted a credible Porsche alternative, or diluted the Lotus experience? I think I’m in love either way." I...

eh. nice link. but another "prototype" blech. finished and well optioned interior reviews not here yet.

A car should be stiff in its construction, and the suspension loose. stiff ='s poor design = cheap

come the USA, it went up a dollar per gallon of max octane. It now is $4.70 for Shell 93. it equates to about $500 more a year if you drive a lot. That's like 1/5 of a small option on our emira's. shrug.

Porsche's 718 Active dampers are very effective at giving safety and control in comfort mode and safety and control in sport mode. the "PASM" system on their Boxster-Caymans is amazingly effective. It is a fairly low cost option to design in. However, the 718's have a "macpherson strut"...

so basically, compress it down, most people want to know this: Is it is as fancy and elegant as a 718 Porsche with options. I hope the KEF is better than 718's Bose. I have a 718 T Boxster on a vague order at the moment and chose their Burmester stereo option. I am going to assume that the...

when you have $100k to burn, you want to feel like a fancy dancy prancing pony. Pinkies up, mofos!

the cayman GTS is a silly car that needs suspension swaps and larger wheels. the 4.0 is meant for the Spyder and the GT4. the 2.5 S is faster than the GTS 4.0 for like $2000 invested in tuning (lack of a turbo makes the GTS near its limit already). I am a Porsche guy and this emira is a lot...
