$130k for an Emira is absurd.

I agree that $130k is a lot, but what else can you purchase NEW for anywhere near that money that is as beautiful and engaging?

I had an Emira on order prior to locating one that fit most of my criteria, and I thought long and hard about this exact question. The only other NEW cars that interested me were the Porsche 718 GTS 4.0, which is extremely limited availability due to the upcoming discontinuation, and the 911 Carrera T, which is nearly impossible to get allocation for. Both of these cost more (often significantly more) than an Emira, yet they feel much more generic to me. Their styling is quite conservative and dated, and all of their controls feel isolated. They do drive well, but severely lack any special feel of occasion that is always present in the Lotus.

Honestly, if I could not find a new Emira, I think I might have been hunting for a used one or a 2020+ Evora.

I just dont get the fascination with Porsche.
Design wise they strike me as quite dull, even boring. OK so some do drive nicely, their performance is good, but car ownership is about more than the physical and for me Porsche lacks that something else, that Lotus and especially the Emira has in spades.
