Oh noes, my taste in cars doesn't live up to the high design standards of the forum noise-maker and Subaru driver.
Moving on...

The Emira reminded me of the NA1 NSX in many ways, it is such a great car and I will look for a used one down the road (hopefully they depreciate somewhat reasonably).

The Emira is sooo tempting. I was close to putting a deposit down when they were first announced...I love the way the car looks, I love that it has a NA Toyota engine, I love that it's not another Porsche...I just couldn't pull the trigger when it came to it. Probably because my station in life didn't allow for the risk of buying an early run Lotus? Like you do though, it's definitely on my radar for the future. Come on depreciation....

I am not a particularly smart man, but I know that if there's ever an option to get the V8...get the V8.
The F-Type is a beaut. Too bad you could never get them with a manual (atleast as far as I'm aware). You ever try the Lexus LC? I feel like it would have similar vibes...and the NA V8 in that thing is glorious.
