IMHO this car will actually be pretty fun to drive. Not a a lot of power, no, but a small, lightweight RWD car is always a good time. In fact, its pretty ironic all the hate this car is getting (and will continue to get I'm sure) given that people always complain that there are no small, lightweight RWD cars on the market. And yes I know a Smart ForTwo is also RWD, but it's smaller (too small) and yet still heavier than the I3.

I'd rather this than a 1 series UKL or a mini, for sure. Plus, SCOTT has hinted they are looking at other more sporty form factors for this platform and also non-electrics. So, there is great potential here. I'll take mine with two seats and a BMW S1000 RR engine, please. Remember the Smart Roadster? If anyone can expand and improve upon that idea, it is BMW. I just hope they decide to approve more vehicles on this platform and take the "i" brand in this direction.
