I personally love it. Its a wrap job which means you still retain the same color so why not go crazy and six months later change course. Seems to me like the best of both worlds (barring scratches in the wrap process), keep the jet black or whatever he has and have an extreme lambo green. Again i say why not?

I actually love it. Then again, I tend to love weird, polarizing stuff in the first place. I like this more than the frozen yellow one posted earlier.

The interior lacks the exotic-ness of the exterior, in my view.

Wouldn't ever own it or do it myself however.

I agree with you both. If you're going to do such a hot green/HULK color, you need to make it flow and black is necessary. That interior is just ugly with that exterior (no offense to anyone who loves it ). They need to learn a thing or two from Lamborghini:

I absolutely love bright colours and this is no exception!
If I had a i8 I would not be able to keep it in the white, grey, silver or blue it comes in. However, one thing I don't like about this car is that its kept the blue accents!

The i8 has started to looking not as pleasing to the eye, as it once was. No matter what color.
It's not at all a nice looking car. Nothing about it is visually appealing.

On the contrary, well... at least in NYC, most taxis are green now! :

these type of colors should be standard (or optional).

green

red

blue

yellow

like M has always done (maybe not as readily with green, but still)

getting a bit tired of the i lines conservatism when it comes to colors.

on a related note, won't ever forgive BMW for not offering these cars in black.

it's sacrilegious

While I appreciate the tech in the i8, man is it an ugly ass car. Great cars look good in most colors, this piece of crap is tough to swallow in any color. Hideous. You gotta be a real kool aid drinker to like this monstrosity.
