Lotus Emira

[legacy_etu]

I'm leaning slightly toward the GT as well, which was my original plan before they announced the Emira. Figure a year or two of rehab and my back will good enough to go back to a manual transmission and by then GTs will be in the 70s-80s.

That back seat is super useful. Back in 2015, we took my 2010 Evora from Salt Lake City to Tuscon with my two kids in the back and still had room for all our luggage for a 4 day stay. I also took it on a few week long road trips with my father and the back seat was great for extra luggage. Here's a pic from one of those trips:

I think if I went Emira it would replace the Supra, but Evora GT would be in addition to.

Wow, really? That's impressive getting all that luggage and people in there.

Are you sure? The Lotus dealer that's 60 miles away from me has valet service. They will come retrieve your car and deliver it back when done.

I am sure. I called.......
240 miles exceeds their desire! lol

that is closest

I should point out my kids were like 6 and 9 years old, so there was room for a duffle bag (kid separation/ violence suppression device) between them in addition to bags in the trunk. My son is 6' now and would not enjoy a trip in the back.

I actually want to trade the Supra so badly for one of these Emiras, but gosh the Supras tunability and potential is just so good.
It can easily serve as fun car,date night car, GT road tripper.
Plus I know if I traded and saw another supra I'm gettin smoked even if they're only running a jb4. I have a lot of twisty back roads as soon as I leave the driveway and the Emira would just be better I believe in the cornering dept.
Idk
Supra or Emira
So far my friends are saying keep the Supra but this Emira looks absolutely dope. Sounds great and has good power.
Mid engine, a freaking supercharged Toyota engine, no fake vents. Etc etc
Can't have both no stable room.
Life's hard man

Yeah, I hear you. I've come to the same conclusion as you though regarding the Supra. It does check a lot of the boxes at a price point that's decent. I've determined it makes more sense to keep the Supra and buy a truck and camper with the money and enjoy some time with the family in the woods.

That is a great price. The Cayman GT4 I priced out was close to $130k. For damn near $40k cheaper it's definitely worth looking at.

I'd honestly prefer the 4 banger this time around. Those AMG engines are no joke.

Yes they are strong. I have no problem testing or even owning that. There will be fun to have in that package.
