    Baggy seat base

    Agree. My neighbor has a G80 and it's laughable to see him get in and then up an over over that center thing close to the private parts.

    What is your Emira's purpose?

    I'm so jealous - my CA dealers is not well versed on future versions and will only take a deposit on the GT4...I tried to explain but to no avail .

    Emira front ground clearance

    Looks pretty decent clearance. Porsche overhang would be a big concern with my driveway.

    Just been offered a C8……dilemma! Help me decide…

    I guess you are in the camp of buying Apple products, Samsung TVs, etc., but some of us "dare to be different" lol. I don't know , I personally hate having the same as everyone else, even if good. I like the quirks of niche stuff and especially if they perform well.

    Now $105k in the USA. I’m not seeing the value

    Indeed. I think I read in the NYT or WSJ that the average new car price in the US is 47k and that climbs up to 66k for EVs. Here in CA EVs are a very common sighting. I have several employees with sub 100k salaries that own model 3, S and Y. And their aspiration is an X. I won't judge them but...

    Now $105k in the USA. I’m not seeing the value

    I see many middle class owners of a Tesla X. I also see a desire to project a certain image, that puts personal finances aside. I don't think 100k is what it used to be.

    150 sounds very steep. I hope 120ish reasonably specced.

    Now $105k in the USA. I’m not seeing the value

    I agree. Inflation is a real thing and everything has become more expensive. Don't know how much is a fully loaded Cayman 4.0? Add to that the exclusivity factor which is worth something for a few of us. 911 base plus options easily 130. Don't know about Corvettes but that's a different animal...

    Gulf Arab States/Middle East deliveries

    In the coming weeks I'll be visiting UAE for the first time. Any recommended activities for car enthusiasts? Does the lotus dealer have an Emira? Still have not seen one live.

    Building momentum in (very) positive review

    NA reviewers more lenient? More easily satisfied? Brits hard to please to sound more sophisticated and knowledgeable?

    Color aside (Emira wins hands down), will be interesting to hear some comparison with the Spyder.

    Reliability of German marques

    Ok, then we have a different definition of fun! All German cars suck, are completely unreliable after warranty expires and one should run away. BMW will soon follow the footsteps of SVB and FRB. Sell sell sell.

    Reliability of German marques

    I won't change your mind. Maybe we can agree that of the top 12 reliable brands, most are outright boring (Mini excluded). So better unreliable than boring!

    Decent review, I thought he was spot on regarding the buyer profile and his views on dealer/customer service, etc.

    Truly hope that all those seeking for a quick financial profit do very poorly and feel some anxiety through the process. No sympathy for their tactics. Only for those that have true changes in financial or personal circumstances.

    So many price "analysis"...mostly crystal balls. Common people, it's a car. Use it and accept whatever the secondary market outcome is. And the primary too because we will not change Lotus pricing practices.

    Nice. And while a touring M3 is a great thing, BMW chose the most horrendous generation. This picture is really the beauty and the beast.

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

    I think the looks/shape overpower the color. Even a black/dark blue will draw the onlookers. If you want something discreet, the Emira is not that!
