Just a thought on the price v.s availability of the Evora - owing to the recent world economic sillyness (i.e. both UK£ and the US$ have SIGNIFICANTLY devalued against the Euro) - we are now at the bizzarre point where the new Evora will be the same price in the Eurozone as a BMW 330 coupe and approx 15k cheaper than the Cayman...
E.g. the list price in france for the Evora will be 62.5k whereas an M3 or RS4 are around 80k (Euros).
This is just a hunch but If the currencies stay roughly where they are then there will be a massive demand for the Evora in Europe as it's starting to look like a steal (I mean if you had to choose between a 330 or an Evora?)- consequently the waiting lists in the US may start to stretch to somewhere over the horizon...
I believe the dealers may be rubbing their hands and licking their lips ... huge premiums here we come?
that was my £.02
