As far as sound goes, everything I've heard has been positive. Most saying it sounds like a 911 both inside and out.



It does sound reasonable. Its funny how a 3 cyl sounds MUCH better than a 4 cyl!

I see how you will fit in the i8 in your stable of vehicles

Well for someone like myself and (I'm sure many people) who can only make way for one sporty/exotic/super car-ish 2nd or 3rd car, then I'd want to get something crazy like your SLS or an R8 - a proper exotic/supercar.

I have a feeling the i8 will depreciate hard, just like all the M cars (except for M3 and i guess M4). a 2008 R8 V8 is still sells for $80-$100k 6 years later (brand new MSRP is $135k) and v10s even less depreciation
