What are you driving until the Emira arrives?

[NDL]

Hi, was one of the last factory built cars, then sat at the dealers ( Ciceley TVR from memory).
I do miss it, but after 24 years of TVR ownership, just felt a change would be in order, so was quite excited when the Emira was launched. Never had a lotus before

I'm on the hunt for a vehicle to purchase now and eventually sell/trade in on the Emira. What's everyone else driving until your Emira arrives?

I'm driving a jaguar xkr dynamic at the moment, but its a keeper and i hope the emira will be too

I always wanted an RX7! I tried a couple of times to buy one, but it just hasn't worked out yet.

I had a 93 RX7 for a while back in the day. Such a cool car that you don't see too often on the road!

Range Rover Sport PHEV. Nice luxurious car, quite quick for its size but boring.

4.7 v8 vantage . For me it has to be the I4 AMG , love the paddle shift it’s so entertaining plus get stuck in traffic and towns manuals are just a pain

Very nice John and looks similar to my own 4.7 V8 Vantage - sports-pack (judging by the wheels?) and a bunch of other goodies? I went for one with the lightweight carbon seats which are awesome.

I count myself lucky to have Lotus cars already, so I'll be driving my Evora S and Exige S1 until the Emira arrives. It means I can enjoy the brilliant handling and V6 noise ahead of time

The Exige is a keeper and the Evora will be traded in for the Emira.

Our other cars are my wife's Audi Q5 and a "pool car" VW Up used as a local hack by the two of us and our older daughter when she's home from university. We'll be replacing the Q5 in a few months - considering a Jaguar F-Pace, Mercedes GLC or another Q5 but might make the switch to EV equivalents (I-Pace, EQC or e-tron).

. Everyone goes on about the Evora maybe not being much of a looker, but I LOVE it What engine are you going for in the Emira?

The same like the Evora 3.6 V6

Hi, driving a Jaguar XES & Mini Cooper S and to be honest will be gutted when I get rid of the Jag for the Emira

My daily driver (and occasional track toy) is a MK7 GTI. I barely put 4k miles on it during 2020.. not sure how I'm justifying keeping it AND getting the Emira, but I love that car too much to let her go and I don't want to daily the Emira!

 

[Cwolf]

Just keep both.

 

[Schumacher]

Audi Q7 and a heavily modified JKUR.

 

[Rammie]

Porsche Boxster 981 model six cylinder in white with a black soft top.

I just bought my first Lotus - a 2009 Elise SC in burnt orange. It'll be almost exclusively a track car (it has race harnesses, adjustable Nitron suspension etc.) Pleased with it so far; first track outing with it in a couple of weeks.

For the road it's a Porsche 991.2 C4S and Macan Turbo, and a Ferrari 488 Spider.

Ha ! Actually, I plan to not to have the black pack, as the 3/4 view looks better if the roof is yellow..
