Evora vs Emira
Discussion
(Based on the Emira reviews, to date) I can’t decide if I’m pleased that the Emira doesn’t seem to have blown my Evora (GT410 Sport) out of the water (the Evora is faster, lighter and sounds better), or disappointed that it doesn’t offer an obvious choice as my next car (probably 18 months away, anyway).
The answer is probably to drive one and take a view on the car, then. Maybe there’ll be a second gen car (lighter, more powerful) shortly?

You`re forgetting what a great car the Evora especially in it`s latest guise is/was...just overpriced when new due to the very low production volumes...
Don`t get hung up on the main stream media reviews as like any corporation they'll bend to who ever pays them the biggest advertising budget!
Watch Harry`s garage, he absolutely knows what he is talking about having set up Evo magazine, been racing, testing, working on development plus being a bit of a journo for many years. He absolutely loves it...in touring guise.
Sure - all good points. Interestingly, it was Harry (almost single-handedly) that persuaded me to buy the Evora GT410 Sport! Don`t get hung up on the main stream media reviews as like any corporation they'll bend to who ever pays them the biggest advertising budget!

An interesting comment in the EVO video;
Yep, interesting commentary. And actually emphasise my point. The ‘upgrades’ he calls out, namely interior and ‘quality’ are not the elements I prioritised when choosing the Evora. I wanted light, agile, exotic(ish) looking, grin inducing drive and spine tingling sound. Evora delivers in spades. I’m keen to find out how the Emira rates on the same basis…Bovingdon said:
It's such a big step on from the Evora. I've watched a few videos on this car, read a few things early on about it and I was really frustrated that no one compared it to an Evora. But now I sort of understand why because it doesn't call to mind an Evora, it doesn't feel like a re-bodied or a development of the Evora. There's... it's just a different feel. The interior is so much better, the quality feels better it just... for the money, for the first time ever a Lotus feels like a bargain rather than something that's really pushing and will only occur to super hardcore Lotus enthusiasts
