I keep seeing the V6 Manual pre-prod cars and tooling samples (especially in the latest set of reviews), with all the adaptive cruise buttons on the steering wheel. I recognise them straight out of the polestar 2 I had for a while. I know there's some mixed opinions on ACC, but I'm hopeful that...

Anyone seen any test mules in DV? I'm pretty sure I've seen every colour in the wild (photos), even nimbus. Just not DV yet.... If any of you do see one, we need at least 50 photos please. Cool thanks.

It was always going to be the early adopters peril. There's no doubt later emiras will be better. But if like me, you want one now, you want one now!

I don't think the tyre/ suspension combo is as much of an issue as everyone thinks. The Evo video has skewed people's thoughts, but I do think the context of him back to backing the gt4 on Cup2s on a dry warm track Vs the Emira on Goodyears skewed perceptions of the car. You're all 100%...

Now... For those questioning why Goodyears over Michelin Pilot Sport 4s or whatever else... Goodyear supersports are rated amongst the best in UHP summer tyre, above the MP4S in feel and feedback. Only superceded by the latest latest contisport contact 7, which look like incredible all around...

For those that are worried about understeer: I used to have quite poor understeer on my Cayman s and even more so on my 911 GTS. It was resolved by super conscientious trail braking and really managing the 911s weight through a corner, but it wasn't a point and squirt kind of car. I took it to...

Looks real! Albeit with a weird filter again....

I suspect the answer is sports Vs tour, but I have nothing to base that off. The reviews mentioned a "bespoke geometry for the cup2", maybe they meant purely through having the sports suspension? 2 geometry set ups definitely make sense, and it makes even more sense for the two to be the...

Added a conclusion that I think represents the lot of both written and video reviews.

Don't judge this loser.

It seems not. How disappointing. Tell your friend that at least there's some nice hi res pics floating around now, that some loser may photoshop anyway....

I think the be all and end all is - go drive the car when you can. See if it ticks your boxes and makes you happy. Delay your order if you can't drive it before buying it. Don't entirely form your opinions based on other's experiences. The professional reviewers have shown how much variance...

Agreed, they mentioned toe out and camber changes. Nothing you won't be able to sort out with a good wheel alignment specialist like center gravity in Warwickshire.

Reviews amalgamated into one. No doubt there'll be many corrections from you guys on here, but here is my rough summary of what's been written and videoed: Cars were still pre-prod but very close to final. A small array of different spec. All V6 Manuals. Mostly Left hand drive, mostly sports...

Doing one as we speak

I think that's fair. Your point stands about expectations! I think I kept my expectations meager for the engine and gearbox knowing its origins based on a Camry engine and diesel rav4 gearbox. For me it was going to be: as long as it's as sonorous as it can be in the modern era I'll be content...

Now that a lot of reviews have come out, there's already a fair amount of emotion forming amongst the enthusiasm in this forum. There's a lot of positive news, but it's always tempting to latch on to things you don't want to hear or that don't align with your own priorities. For people forming...

What's really interesting is the difference between Jethro and Evos track review against Harry's road review. Jethro categorically states that he doesn't understand why anyone would spec tour suspension in his track review - whilst comparing it to a gt4. In comparison Harry back to backs both...

I remember seeing lotus design studio produce a chart of what works with what, I think they put yellow and tan as not recommended. Tan may be a tad bold with the Yellow! But if you love it, what does it matter to anyone else (apart from maybe resale... but who cares about money really....).

Not to be too biased on this enthusiast forum, but I do think there's a lot of latching on to the negativity and negating some solid positives. I think what you can separate out from the reviews is the track vs road bias; which I appreciate for some people looking for that hardcore track machine...

Harry's garage has a brilliant back to back with the tour and sport suspension from around 12:30 onwards. Interesting how he describes the sport as harsh over B roads and the tour floating over it. It goes hand in hand with what we've been hearing with track bias vs road bias respectively...

I believe I'm in the top 270 or so and was told I'd just missed the July cut off, so will be August delivery. For reference. I don't know if that includes i4 orders too? If so, then that all sounds about right for targets at least.

I interpreted it as - wide tyres, wide track - the "edge" or limit, is now not as easily reachable on the road, at fast road speeds as it may have been in something like an Elise and Exige. i.e Too much grip. I.e. part 2: feel is plentiful, but the ability to use that feel to the limit, is now...

Yes! Also super interesting to read about ADAS and V6 manual. Wonder how accurate that is. Thanks so much for posting!

I think Autocar have a Cayman Vs emira lined up, but agreed!

Of course, it's free for anyone and everyone to enjoy; it's more when it appears on Facebook and people are like ERMAGHERD LOTUS REVEALED DV PHOTOS...

I keep seeing my photoshops and renders posted a few different places. I don't mind too much, although no one seems to link to the original sources on here. The bigger issue is actually that people are thinking they're real pictures. I've stated multiple times I have 0 idea if they're accurate...

I've not seen it in person, but that's as close as I'd imagine DV being. I.e black with a touch of green. We'll await anyone who's seen it in person...

DV 911...

Lol. That's my photoshop I posted on here a few days ago. Glad it's making the rounds...

In fact, disregard that Instagram post. They're pictures taken by forum member EBZ reposted on Instagram! Full circle and all that. Link to his post: Post in thread 'Factory Tour Thread' https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/factory-tour-thread.1219/post-32272

Nimbus with tan interior at hethel. Let me know if you can't see the post.

Yeah I was informed end of next week for pics to be released when CS called me to confirm delivery plans. TBC but as Tom said, I was expecting 3rd - 7th too. No expectations for this week

Oh I and a couple of others were adamant that the pics online on the driving academy page were just shadow grey with a filter on it. Even tried taking the filter off and it really does look like shadow. But it seems it's not as easy as that...! Broken record as always, but it'd help if we had...

Had my call this morning, sounds like I'm now due in August. They confirmed that the pics on the Driving Academy page are indeed DV. So ignore absolutely everything I've said, I have no idea what I'm on about it seems... They did say that they'd release full pictures of all colours, without...
