It will be awhile before they offer the i3 worldwide, and for a totally new vehicle in a totally new (to them) class of car, to start with nothing, that's pretty impressive. Now, if it were intended to compete with something like a VW Golf, that wouldn't be, but it is not intended to. ANd, in the USA, it obviously won't be available for the entire calendar year. The real tell is subsequent years as people get exposed to them.
