I'd love to get an Emira. I'm happy with the Exige but it's hardcore enough that I know one day I'll just want something a little softer.

My Lotus is easy enough to work on. I'm no mechanic but even I can change things like injector rings, and wire in electrics (like those stupid side markers I had to add). Fluid changes are easy, and once you know how to get all the various access panels off it's really not hard to get to places.

The exchange rate from the UK to NA is very good right now historically speaking. I don't see why Lotus would pull out.

The Lotus dealer in Vancouver has insane prices though. No way I'd buy parts from them... or used cars. At least the engine parts are in stock at my local Toyota dealer.

They've been running the Toyota V6 for years now. I don't expect people will have any issues at with them.
