    I've just lost 10mn listening to the opinion of those guys who obviously don't know anything about the car. Might as well ask your clueless colleagues at work what they think about the Lotus.

      @@iflywoe6402 Seems like Lotus owners don't want to hear anything but praises for the Emira and are too impatient to wait for the part of the video where they'll get that. Impatient much?

    What an embarrassingly bad take on the Emira. I get it that car nerds don't know everything about every car, but if you are going to make a video about something, take the time to learn about it. Anyone who questions the desirability of Lotus outside of the UK and pontificates that the Emira "give me no passion, no fizz, no interest... it's just a car with a Toyota engine in it" clearly is just operating out of a set of ill-informed personal biases unchecked by any relevant recent direct experience with an Emira. How can you claim to "dissect the merits of each vehicle" when you are mixing up the Emira with the Evora? Looks are subjective, and you are certainly free to joke about the look of the Emira to your heart's content. I'll just gently point out that in all comparisons between the Cayman and the Emira by a variety of reviewers, the Emira has always been noted as a far better looking design. Therefore, your immature innuendos towards the Emira's design come off as sour grapes. The only insightful aspect of this video is in revealing what pompous fools you guys are.

      That's a lot of words for guy that clearly didn't watch the whole video. You are disagreeing with the two guest Nerds, not the regular hosts who for the most part disagreed with the guest. Watcht he rest of the video instead of getting triggered by one guy's opinon. You may have some fun.

    Cayman may be the better car overall, but from the reports I've seen it's no comparison. The Emira is a far better drivers car. Much more engaging.

    What's up guys?!!! The Emira looks good (not in this color), and probably is fun to drive as I believe it is a driver's car without all stability controls as Porsche. With that said, hands down , I'd keep my Cayman. Reliability is questionable.
