I don't get it.  Is there really a need for both the 540 and the 570?  "Oh, geez, I only have $196,500, good thing that they have a model for me, 'cause no way I'd make the stretch to $219,750."

Probably the cost of having two models means if they'd just gone to one they probably could have sold the 570 for $200K and made the same money.

The 540C is supposed to be more usable in day to day driving. It supposedly have better ride quality and improves city driving. I see the point of it but I'm guessing they won't sell many in North America. Seems more like a product targeted at Shanghai, Hong Kong, etc.

Agreed.  $90K for that Evora is fantastic!  Bleedin' kids...  :rofl2:

Will probably be $130K in Canada...


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

is it just me or did Evora use to look more graceful?

the front of the Evora looks like a cartoon version of Evora trying to be GT3....

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

I just think it looks a bit more aggressive, it was a bit too smiley for my liking originally.
