True. I'm in love with this car. I haven't been wow'd by a car in a while (since the 997 GT3's were released). If the price speculation is true on the LT forum like this, it's a done deal for me.

Cayman S (72k) vs. Emira AMG I4(65k)
Cayman GTS 4.0 (86k) vs. Emira Toyota V6 (80k)


This would be my build.
-Dark Verdant
-Lower Black Pack
-Gloss Black Ultra Light V spoke Forged Alloy Wheels
-Yellow calipers
-Still deciding on the Black or Tan Leather. No alcantara since it wears easily and doesn't age well.
-V6/6speed

Wow! I literally built this very car in the configuration tool yesterday! I went with the tan leather seats.

Dark green with tan leather is almost a given but dark green with black/gray leather goes well and pays homage to the vintage British racing cars.

Are you not worried about first year production issues since this is a completely new car. Looking on Lotus Talk, other models seem to have intermittent issues.
look how it worked out for the a90 Supra. Lol ? 2nd year has more issues than the first.

Thatā€™s more on BMW then Toyota. I read about the random quality issues that Lotusā€™ have but it seems to have improved. Hopefully this new factory will address these issues.

Evora Was at Merc dealer when shopping SUV

Really really looked good
I liked it but was 90k !?

Canā€™t justify switching from a faster Supra


No idea about tuning options

The new one is hot for sure. And I have always liked driving cars not seen at every light

Evora GT does 0-60 in 3.8 and goes 188 MPH. In what way is the Supra faster lol.

My Supra is faster and better at track and even with cost of mods it is still waaayyy under Evora

That's an endless, useless argument I'm not going to get drawn into.

Not an argument. But if you can buy a Supra for 50k add some power and handling for 10k. You are faster and still 30k under the Evora. Then it is just a subjective: I like the looks and pedigree of the Evora better which is a valid choice for someone.

I really like the looks of the new Lotus. But for that money Iā€™d probably choose a sorted Pcar or even c8. Someone bring one to my local track and change my mind!

Friend of mine was looking at the Evora GT pretty hard. A lot of things to like about it, but ultimately he decided to order a Cayman GT4.
