If the car is that much lighter than the competition, I would have expected:
1) Extended range without an engine
2) Faster acceleration times
3) Better handling / dynamic driving
The first two are a big fail. Hopefully the i3 does better in the last category, otherwise all this CFRP talk is marketing BS.

Let's just say everything is acceptable for a small city car, except the price of course. However, what's up with the 650cc 2-cyl range extender weighing 330 lbs for 4K?? I mean are they joking?? Honda and Toyota must be rofl.
Can't wait to see used car values and insurance rates when collision bills start coming in for that CFRP. Low emissions is cool but $45K for fancy C-Max is out of touch with realty.
