Not sure about parking itself.

On the door issue, it seems that the way the doors on the i8 open will require less horizontal space next to an adjacent parked car, when compared to a regular 2 door coupe with conventional doors. Coupes have longer doors than sedans (usually, and particularly big GT style coupes).

I would love to see some photos of an i8 parked in a parking lot next to other cars and the doors open.

Also here in Florida at least, there's lots of space and I will probably do with the i8 what I do with the X6M. Namely, park at the back or further away from other cars in parking lots, and use only corner spots.

This assures only one car can park next to me and usually, unless they parked half way in my space, their door will be too far from my car to hit it. Another reason I park far away is shopping carts tend to roll around nearby the stores and always seem to hit random cars.

When going out on the town, it's worth to pay $20 to the valet to park your car (yourself) up front where there are usually very few cars. Plus I get to keep my key and no valets drive my car!
