There will be minimum $10k+ between similarly specced Emira V6 and GTS 4.0 Cayman(if you could get both for msrp).

Emira pricing:
Base I4: $75k
Base V6: $83k
I4 FE: $86k
V6 FE: $94k (First Ed are basically fully loaded, minus two-tone paint).
Then I must have got it wrong, was listening to maybe the EVO video at the same time. Maybe they were talking about GTS, which even then we're talking about one hell of an NA car.

Even at $83k, there's a solid case to get the car, but also to go for the Porsche instead. I've always been one to defend the Toyota V6 (I loved the way it sounds), but next to the 4L, it's not quite as nice. Same with the gearshift.

But then you could argue exotic looks and just to have something you don't see everyday. You can't really lose, just glad there's still manufacturers making cars like this. Thankfully I'm in no position to pull the trigger on either
