      Cayenne is far more practical and still was like a Porsche. This is so against what Lotus was it’s just a name now. And the Cayenne allowed the 911 to continue on, not replace it.
      So not really the same.
      Have owned Cayenne, 911 and Tesla. I am saddened by this direction for Lotus.

    Good review! Honestly I'd consider it (If I were in the consumer segment for this type of vehicle). The fact that it's an EV, or a Lotus trying to be a big gt-style car, or the Chinese ownership doesn't really put me off, just makes me more curious if anything. There are a lot of question marks for sure, but as a car enthusiast I like to experience different types of cars. In a perfect world, I'd have a Taycan or Celestiq in my garage, and also one of these just to sort compare and contrast and try something I wouldn't usually consider

    Great review.
    I like the trade offs which Lotus have made on minimalist UI/UX and proper buttons, stalks, and paddles. It looks like a great driving experience. No idea about the cost but presumably insane, but maybe even worth it. Just a bit too big, but really desirable. Then the Taycan is also too big.

    I recently made a deposit on an Emeya at Wearnes Thailand after my first visit to their showroom. Despite the showroom's low class and quality, I was impressed by the design and build of the Emeya. After negotiating and making a deposit, the salesperson contacted me a few days later, stating they could not honor the agreed-upon price and needed to increase it.
    I am very disappointed with Wearnes Thailand. Lotus should not appoint such an unprofessional company as their sole dealer in Thailand.
    I’ll wait to see how they respond to this situation.
    The way they treat their customers is unacceptable.

    I would pick this one over a Taycan, because of the hatch.
    And, also because of the same hatch, I think I would prefer it with a digital rear view mirror.
