I had forgotten about i8 Posted by Snowmobile [Email] (#686) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Snowmobile) on Wed, 1 Apr 2015 06:47:37 In Reply to: Re: BMW i3 - ugly, Justin VanAbrahams [Profile/Gallery] , Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:04:48 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It's actually quite nice looking. Actually I find it a little ironic that it has the winglets and perhaps a few other curves reminiscent of the pheoniX concept that BMW's former design head was kind of critical of...
I suppose that is the market - high end sports car, or commuter appliance, and your market explanation sounds reasonable... Still, would be cool if they made an M3 with that kind of powerplant... I'm sure it doesn't exist because they've analyzed the market or at least are waiting until the market might build out over time...
Still, I'd love to see more performance oriented "normal cars" on the market with predominantly electric drive trains. Tesla, though expensive, is to me the closest thing to what I'm thinking of. Prius wagon is kind of close in a way from a useability perspective, but it's kind of small still and underpowered/"underperformanced". I'm sure the market will evolve with time!
