I think this is a slightly outdated perception of tuner culture. That may be close to "stance" culture, which still involves slammed cars and widebodies, but most tuners of the 90s have grown up and now they can build some scary capable, respectable rides.I don't think the Emira will draw in many "tuners". The Lotus crowd has traditionally been about mountain driving, autocrossing, HPDEs, etc. To me the tuner crowd is always about big wheels, big turbos, big subwoofers, slammed suspensions, underbody neon, over the top body kits, etc. That's simply just not the Lotus drivers I know. Sure, there are a couple out there, but the vast majority of owners aren't like that.
Plus, I've heard more than once, the scariest thing on a highway is a middle-aged man in an old sh*tbox with no interior, because you just never know
