I of course like the design. Regarding the price/performance and alternatives it's obvious that you can get much better performing cars for the price - especially in a track situation. But this thing has some advantages too over those:

- You can drive 22 miles on electric power only and recharge in 3.5 hours from a regular 110V plug. That is amazing. I could basically run all my workweek on electric power and lot's of people could too.

- It looks very exotic.

- It is relatively lightweight for it's price range and extremely lightweight for a hybrid.

The key question for me is: will it be fun to drive? Most reviews have been positive so far. It will be slower than an M6 (or even an M4) for sure, but it *may* be more fun to drive in a mountain road - especially compared to an M6.

If it is a lot of fun to drive, I could see myself accepting the tradeoff of less performance for the price.
