What I think is interesting about the Emira is that it’s its own car, meaning that it’s not constantly compared to another model in the line like the 718 vs 911 comparison. No one will say it’s not a real Lotus. I think the Emira, like most Lotus cars is beautiful but seems to suffer from lots of mechanical issues or gremlins. Plus with the Emira you don’t get an adjustable suspension and most people end up getting the touring suspension and they didn’t make any advancements in the v6 which is exactly the same as the Evora which was launch in 2008. You could argue that the 718 is essentially the same since the 987 but in reality has continually been tweaked, enhanced and given more power etc.

And given that there are way fewer Lotus dealers than Porsche dealers, it will not be fun finding a dealer unless you live close to one.
