I've not been through it all but there's the SE that we knew about plus a 'racing line'

V6 Racing line now a £100,000 car. I can't believe anybody is gonna buy those are they? Into 911 territory now and that's a very very compelling package (if less good looking and predictable etc etc).

That said, the new green is absolutely stunning...

You could say similar things about all of the models. Had they pitched them at about the same price as a (similarly equipped) comparable Porsche and you could see quite a few being seduced by the looks. Some would prefer it simply because it isn't a Porsche. Difficult at current prices particularly with the reliability/quality issues they have had.

Odd that I haven't managed to find independent performance figures for any 4 pot variant.

The cheapest base 911 is in the early £100k's going up to £150k but those are without pricey options. For £100k the Emira is at least fully loaded. TBH I see it more as a Cayman alternative than 911.

Reliability issues just get blown out of proportion by the internet, they really do. Lotus sold 10,000 Emiras and yet i don't see 10,000 people complaining, just a small number. And don't assume Porsche is immune for issues either...

Don't see many on the road. I've only seen one since they were released.

TX.

Aside from the one in my garage, I've probably seen 6-7. But given there are millions of cars on the road that's not surprising, plus they tend to be weekend cars so, again, less likely to be seen on the road.
