I agree with you that their final edition will be everything it should be, but not sure if I can wait another 3-4 years. haha

I don't see the Emira as benefitting anything from Geely other than money, the engineering is still Lotus, and still lacking. Many Evora owners from the first few years were quite unhappy because of so many little things that went wrong with the car. The car didn't leave them on the side of the road, but it certainly hurts the experience.
I'm a huge Lotus fan, I just think it takes them a while to catch their stride. I also think they have lost their way, making bigger, heavier cars, but that's Geely talking. Money talks, cars with dealership birthdays walk.
