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

    The problem is every car has a long wait. Some six months and some three years. This has caused the used car market to go insane. I am just going to drive Q7.

    No ADAS on First edition

    I find ADAS systems to just be annoying. I somehow have lived most of my life without them. I turned it off on my Audi.

    Pulled out, after getting conflicting delevery dates from Lotus CC

    I never got past the break in period. Awd hooks up, but I had to keep it in comfort and even be careful to keep it under 5K.

    Pulled out, after getting conflicting delevery dates from Lotus CC

    I actually bought a M3 Comp X-drive as a backup to the Emira. I have had it for two months and I just sold it. It just did nothing for me. It was insanely fast. It was a great car, but I felt it was too fast for the streets. I liked my E92 much better. The sound of the engine and the lower...

    I4FE what’s next?

    You are over six months from your next step of locking in your config. This takes lots of patience.

    Emira V6 Manual "Auto Blip" Downshift Rev-Matching

    I watched a video review of the Emira and they said it did not have auto-blip.

    Type 132 has a name: ELETRE

    I have no interest in electric cars for the near future. The battery density is just too low. I am going to wait at least a decade.

    U.S. Update: Allocation & Order Date

    I drove to my dealer the other day. Houston only got 7 FE and I was number 12. He said my order will probably be in June/July and it takes about six months to deliver. Not the good news I was hoping for.

    What are you driving until the Emira arrives?

    Yea, I am not sure if I plan to keep it. I just did a LT1/Atlas/10spd swap. There is nothing left to modify.

    Is the Emira really a "Supercar"?

    Nope, it is not. It is not intended to be a supercar. It fills a niche at a price point that competes with the baby Porsche. I think it was a smart segment to go after.

    Aftermarket wheels for the Emira

    I think the stock options are just fine. Lighter rims won't make a difference in this car. The best thing about this car is you don't need to put on aftermarket parts. It is semi-affordable.

    Chip shortage worries

    I don't think so with their low volumes.

    Black Pack versus Lower Black Pack

    If you look closely the lower black pack also paints the corner of the door black to match the black sill. The non black you can see the color through it. You notice this more in yellow.

    Thoughts on the 2023 Nissan Z

    Gorgeous car! They nailed this design. They will pair it with a nice twin turbo. I really dig it. I think they will sell a lot of them. I would take one any day over any American sports cars. There is not a single American sports car I like. I don't count the Ford GT as I can't afford it...

    Alcantara seat covering.

    I am debating on the Alcantara steering wheel and seat with yellow trim. You can't tell how it looks in the config, but you can see a good picture of it in the brochure. I will make a decision in November when more pictures come out as dealers get their show cars.

    Under the skin: Why the Lotus Emira's four is more exciting than its V6

    You can modify the M139 to about 590HP. There is a lot of tuning left in that motor. The Toyota is hard to bump past 460HP. I will be plenty happy with a tune and the Toyota. I have to admit I like a dct and owned one in a M3. I loved it, but it is still not a manual. Using the Toyota is a...
