Granted the 997 is faster and does not use a Toyota motor, but something about the lines of the Evora I find seductive, especially in that sea green color. In addition, here in Miami there is a 997 on every street corner and I would venture to say Evora's will be far and few between. I want to drive one. I will report back!

 

Yeah, I've pondered it, but I think it might be insane to buy a first year product from a company like Lotus. I can't even begin to fathom all of the bugs!! Some of the reports from europe have compared it to the cayman and it was a verified contender, but lacked all of the polish that makes a car worth that kind of money.
After a year or two, we will know the story and they may come out with a supercharged toyota 3.5L, Like in their Suvs. Can't wait for that!!
Also, there is a waiting list at most dealers for them right now....

 

Nope I wouldn't . In fact I did consider other cars to compliment my Turbo when I bought my 997S . I did not find anything which compared to the 997S PDK for the price and that even includes the Gt3 which is the car I wanted (but refuse to pay near MSRP for when weighed agaist a 20 percent discount). I did buy an M3 . I considered a Gtr . I even considered a Ferrari but think it is an overpriced and a quirky car which lacks the comfort and repair ease of a Porsche and depreciates faster than a falling rock with miles.

The 997S is the best car for the buck .It's fast , comfortable, reliable, and great to drive and after the novelty eroded in another car I believe that you may miss your car.

If you want something different buy a Turbo modify it, and customize the exterior aerokit and center the car's focus around its pure high Hp monstrous ability --It would be exclusive because I have yet to see another car like mine in this "dime a dozen" Porsche land (as you refer).

 

Negative

 

+1. Porsche all the way!

 

I thought of other cars - A8, GTR, Lotus, Maserati etc., but nothing compares to the 911. The others may be more "exclusive" (read - you see less of them), may arguably be prettier or have more gadgets - but all around the 997.2 is the better car. For me it came down to that vs. how many other people have one. Plus I agree with someone else who said that something new may be a novelty for a year - but you may ultimately miss the 997.2. GL.

Nice find. They'd even fit in the back of my 911...

 

No way Jose! No comparison to the 911 in my book, even if it outperformed the 911, I wouldn't consider it due to the styling, character and rich heritage the 911 has.

 

nah... lol
