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.

[@bidnerds]

That's kinda what we did.

[@iflywoe6402]

i have both a 981 spyder and the new Emira, they have no clue, don’t waste your time.

[@bidnerds]

@@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?

[@OneBox0]

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.

[@bidnerds]

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.

[@damo514]

Man atleast do some research on the cars before getting on a podcast. People on hear absolutely just spewing nonsense

[@bidnerds]

Geez people, watch the whole video. We bring on guests with differing opinions. Chances are, if you watch the whole thing, someone will agree with you.

[@damo514]

@@bidnerds you should probably change your format. Don’t need to listen to your rambling, for you to eventually bring a guest. After listening to you talk about stuff you clearly didn’t even google search prior to talking about. Why would I expect a guest is gunna be much better.

We love Anthony even though he's decidedly Boomer Adjacent.

[@Wiz33]

Simple answer, my 2024 718S have been sitting in my office warehouse ever since I got the Emira, No contest which the the more engaging car to drive.

[@bidnerds]

Anyone who has actually driven either would agree. Why do you think som many people hate?

[@Wiz33]

@@bidnerds Because you actually need skill to drive an Emira well whereas all the electronics in the Porsche will let people drive beyond their skill level so they think they're cool..

[@62Sketch]

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.

[@bidnerds]

People who have actually driven both tend to agree. Have you driven both?

[@paulbigsby1171]

It was great sporting yellow when we were at the Crest.

[@jasondoe5741]

You guys are 100% off base on so many points….i checked out when he thought this was an Evora he drove….then said it’s not the prettiest thing.

[@bidnerds]

Yeah, one of the guests said that and the host's called him out for it. Seems like a lot of people are only intrested in an echo chamber. Watch the whole episode. It's part of the fun.

[@paulbigsby1171]

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.

[@bidnerds]

What's wrong with yellow?

[@paulbigsby1171]

@@bidnerds Nothing! I like it in yellow!

[@drunvert]

Its an Expensive B 0:41 oxster just like the NSX was an expensive Corvette c8

[@bidnerds]

It's about the same price as a Boxster isn't it?

[@drunvert]

@@bidnerds well it's a minimum 25 Grand more. 💲💲

[@Hapkin]

Drive it. It drives so differently than Boxster and it's a better competitor for Cayman GTS. It so much.ore visceral than my buddys GT4, GTS

[@drunvert]

@@Hapkin I believe you.
