So I’m trying to be fairly realistic with modern cars that fascinate me because I have a kid and with my Corvette it’s difficult to have “family time” with the Corvette hobby, so my hope is to eventually add a good 2+2 to my garage that is both somewhat exotic but also relatively affordable within a $50k price point which I can afford.

To those points there are two cars that are fitting those bills that fascinate me; the first gen Lotus Evora and the current BMW i8.

The Evora would be nice because not only can it be had in 2+2 option but it’s also largely Toyota drivetrain, so if need be Toyota parts can be secured. What I also like about it is how relatively unique it is but it’s styling still remains relatively fresh. Pre-400 US market Evoras stil look good in 2019. They’re also dipping sub $40K.

The i8 simply because of how utterly unqiue it is. I’ve seen a handful of them where I’m at and they have some crazy styling, particularly in the rear. They are also a 2+2 (with a bit more room than the Evora). I’d have to have one with range extension though. Their price is still well above my budget but I believe in the next half decade they’ll dip fairly well down since BMW seems to be somewhat abandoning the “i” brand (een if they did just recently create an i8 roadster). If BMW refreshes the i8 it’ll really push the old ones down in price.

Lots of mclaren 570 s popping up around here...cool ride
