The Cayman GTS 4.0 would be the natural direct competitor against the Emira in every regard -- MR, similar weight, similar hp/tq.

I would pick the Porsche over the Lotus all day, everyday because I am a Porsche fanboi, and I trust that the Porsche would be more solidly built. But the Emira is certainly the more eye-catching car.

What I am not sure is -- which engine would be the more enjoyable one to pick? On paper, the Toyota V6 is a touch faster, and I am going to guess/bet that it will also be the more reliable engine. But of course the AMG 4-banger is very attractive too, at least in terms of output.

Curious what everyone's thoughts on this car? Seems like the best value at the $105 - 120K price range for a 6 speed sports car with warranty in the modern market.

My friend said he's on the waitlist and it's 2 years wait at the moment. Any other cars you guys would get in this range?
