Man, is there a lot of vitriol in this thread.

In fairness, I believe there is a ton of stuff to like about this car. Low center of gravity, lightweight, RWD, and EV torque. It's also roomy for it's size and great for the city. BMW has some great engineering under it's belt; I think it's unfair to criticise the driving experience before anyone has had a chance to drive it. If there is any one thing this car is poised to do great, it's the driving feel. It's even more asinine to proclaim that the i8 will be crap as well.

All that aside - DEAR LORD MY EYEBALLS. The overall form of this vehicle is really unappealing. The final execution lost everything that was visually interesting about the concept (that wasn't the best to start with). It just oozes 'economy' from the outside.
