    Advice about the 2012 Evora base car with IPS.

    Hi all. An opportunity has come my way a seller is departing with their 2012 Evora with the IPS transmission. Not the supercharged version. It has only 19000 miles and is apparently in great condition. But honestly I don’t know much about the early Evoras and would like to hear any advice from...

    Would appreciate advice from the group……

    Hi everyone. Last week I learned of a new Evora for sale that matches my preferred specification for the Emira, with the exception of interior color being black instead of tan. Also, it’s a 2+2 instead of 2+0. Otherwise it’s the right color, V6/auto….a fully loaded Evora. Moreover, I’ve always...

    Emira vs Evora build quality

    Right off the bat, let me say that Emira has amazing style and evokes the feeling of being a super car. That being said, Evora is no slouch in the styling department. It’s smooth and elegant, particularly the early version for me (I prefer the front end over the 400/GT cars). Since the engines...

    Creative wrapping

    There has recently been a lot of chatter here about whether people should select the factory black pack vs. using gloss black wrap to mimic the black pack. Then this evening I was watching the first episode of the new Wheeler Dealers with Mike Brewer and Elvis Priestly, and toward the end of the...

    One can dream….

    Today I went to the lotus cars website to play with the new US Emira configurator that you all teased me with a couple of days ago. Imagine my disappointment to find that there was no configurator at all available. I hopped on the chat to learn that it was down and that I would be contacted by...

    Configurator for US buyers?

    I’m wondering if anyone has info about an update to the configurator for US customers? Now that pricing has been announced it would be great to play around with options. The version I access is still pretty rudimentary. Anyone?

    Collectibility

    People by cars like these for many reasons. I am wondering what people think about which version of Emira will be more collectible The v6 manual? The I4 DCT? Will first editions matter in the end or will collectors be more inclined toward a fully loaded car with every conceivable option? Or a...

    ADAS revisited….kind of

    You know, IMHO, I can think of few things more useless than rain sensing wipers/windshield. Who can’t tell when it’s raining enough to turn on the wipers for goodness sake. I would much prefer to have ADAS to enhance the daily driver experience, perhaps with an option being not to install them...

    Distribution of deposit holders?

    Does anyone have any insight as to the distribution of deposit makers around the globe, whether the distribution is aligned with the allocations to dealers and how specific customers are to be prioritized? Seems to me there can’t really be one master list of deposit makers and all of us sit at...

    Front and rear cosmetic evolution

    Hi all, I’m taking a week away from work and find myself with time to contemplate. I was looking back at the evolution of the appearance of the front and rear of the Evora. Early versions had a rounded opening at the front end matched by a smooth, ovoid rear with integrated spoiler. With time...

    The infotainment screen…

    Is anyone else kind of underwhelmed, or even disappointed by the way infotainment screens are currently integrated into automotive interiors? I was in my wife’s Audi Q5 this afternoon and the screen just sticks up precariously from the center of the dash. Then in my son’s Mazda 3…same thing. Was...

    Another Evora question….

    I am also wondering, for fun, if Evora prices started to drop precipitously after Emiras hit dealerships, how low would the price have to go for you to opt for a 2020-21 Evora instead of an Emira? Anyone want to chime in?

    Perplexed by the current state of the Evora

    Hi Everyone. I was curious about what was happening in the new Evora market so I did some quick looking around. I was expecting to see these cars start to be discounted, as the likely future owners are hopping on the Emira bandwagon in large numbers. I was surprised to see these cars are still...

    V6 with the automatic transmission?

    Hi everyone. I have been wondering if anyone out there is interested in a V6 supercharged engine mated to the automatic transmission? I’ve never driven the automatic in the Evora, about which I’ve heard divergent opinions over the years. I’d be interested to hear people’s opinions. I recognize...
