Great, I have it in Scottsdale and unfortunately I haven't been there in a couple months to drive it. It's fast, sounds awesome, interior quality is tremendous. I can't really think of anything I don't like about it.

I also had (recently sold and replaced with a Ghost) a Bentley Continental GT. FWIW I'd say the i8 is a good cross between the two. More GT than the 458, better performance than the Bentley (but nowhere near a 458)

Ferraris stir the soul though. There's something special about them that's tough to articulate. You have to feel it.

No offense, but why would anyone get an SUV? They don't have more space than a good station wagon, guzzle more gas for the same performance, handle worse despite all the suspension wizardry, are more likely to roll over ...

I got a X5 loaner the other day. It was great. Super comfortable and you don't have to worry about pot holes, steep bumps...etc.

I never had an SUV. It'd be a nice change. Wagons are cool but my fiance would kill me if I got one. She think wagons are for old ladies

My next car will likely me something like a 911 GTS.

I love BMW, I've just kinda gone through most of what I'm interested in already. 550i (F10 with Dinan Stage 3 tuning), 2014 M6 and now the i8.

Speaking of station wagons, among my many BMWs was a recent 535ixt. It was a superb car. If BMW imported the current 5 series wagon I'd get it in an instant. But BMW is determined to sell us trucks (SUVs) and hatchbacks (GTs). My 550iGT had very comfortable seats but was soft and a real pig of a car. Ugly to boot.

My wife drives our 2015 x5m. Bad ass suv. I have the i8 for weekends and my 4Runner to drive weekdays. x5m has plenty of power but get it if you really want or need an SUV that hauls.

I'm still stuck wondering what my next car will be after i8.

That's the car no longer Top Gear would mock on just as they did on communist cars for good reasons ( when Jeremy was there )
This SUV is my fave ,it's shame US won't get this because it could be detrimental to sales of VW's equivalent models

or G30 BMW 5 Series ,I love it , the best looking 5 Series ever

Have her test drive an RS6 Avant. An old lady would choke on her dentures in that one.

I don't much like Merc wagons. Last year I successfully lemoned an E63 for a neighbor. The transmission would lock up and the car had to be stopped, the ignition turned off, and then the car had to be restarted. After 5 attempts we told Mercedes they owned it. And they bought it back (even though they fixed it one last time; it had been in the shop for 32 days total following that last and probably successful attempt).
