The MC20 is THE best looking car on the planet right now (obviously opinions may vary). I don't understand the steep depreciation curve for these.

Look at it's reviews considering driving dynamics and servicing costs...
That said I think they look amazing and will appreciate quickly in a couple years.

Drooling over Emira since Oct 2021 deposit and for first time seriously considering walking away from my 2.0. Contemplating just putting that money towards early retirement and driving F-Type into the ground. Plus just picked this electric Mini up as extra family car. Amazing how many smiles per $ you get in handling and instant torque.

Right? It sure would be nice if our British sports cars came in something as iconic as British Racing Green.

Funny I did something simular back in August. Not electric but still fun while I wait.

The 570 vs GT debate lives rent free in my head

The driving season in St Louis is around the corner.

My Evora is for sale on consignment at my Lotus dealer in preparation for my Emira.

I have a 2023 GT4 that keeps me happy, but if the Emira release goes beyond mid March I’ll be really annoyed - just like all of us that are waiting.

I was looking at used 991.1 GT3s and 570S and it's pretty hard not to consider them at this point. Staying strong but still annoyed at needing to bike 30 miles in the rain to get to work.

If it has low miles and if its a toy not a DD then all day long for the

Listening to you describe this makes me think about my first track experience.

You make a good point, if you go EV get ultra light. It probably drives just like these track cars. Instant! I would like to drive your Mini.

I love how mini keeps the hood scoop for an electric car. Hope that’s waterproof

Great color!

I’m looking to add an EV as a next purchase, and given the way the Emira launch has been handled, no way will it be a Type 135. This is the one I’m hoping develops and becomes available in the U.S.:

Yahoo is bad with putting old videos with new written text. Hopefully that was recorded last year when the Eletre come out...so he referring to cars to USA Summer 23...... missed that by a few days..shoulda said coming soon.

Watched the CFO video. Question - where can I buy one of those $76k Emira‘s advertised at the 2:40 mark?

That was the OG lie Lotus sold us on three years ago!

And the reason I selected an Emira deposit vs a 2021 Evora GT. If I knew then……

I just sold mine. Probably going to regret it. Had no intention of selling it
But got a lot more for it than what I thought I would get.

Whenever I see new IG or YT reels of Emira screaming "and it starts at $77k!" I cringe a little inside.

I dont want to be the werido in the coments "ACTUALLYYY! its... 105K !"

The CFO video is shockingly bad. The guy is obviously reading from things that are being shown to him on the side. He does not convey any sense of expertise in terms of finance or the world wide automotive industry. He is likely someone from the mothership who was given this assignment because he kisses the right asses or knows someone in the leadership. The CFO is also a sales person of sorts when talking to investors. This guy has no charisma and no endearing quality. All his comments are robotic, monotone, and he appears nervous and out of sorts.

Yeah and it’s also annoying because when people will ask about the car and Google it , it still will show $76k to $95k when in fact it’s MUCH more than that after options, TT&L, dealers fees, destination fees etc… just annoying to pay over $120k for a car OTD and people are like “oh that’s that cheap sports car! It’s like $80 to $90k!! I should get one!”…. No it’s not … and good luck getting one! Actually you can and they will be available by March 12th…. Yeah … you go and do that…

When I see friends or acquaintances pull up in a new $2/3/400k car I just shake my head.
I'm usually a braggart about how much I DIDN'T spend on a car.
It was the most appealing part of the Emira for me.
It WAS a bargain when first announced.
The price is still what I would consider reasonable. Just not a bargain.
It's still only one of two mid engine sports cars on the market available with a manual. That other brand just makes me yawn . Those are the Toyota Camry of sports cars. I am completely uninspired by them.
