i8 Event in Las Vegas
I'd previously heard of a possible i8 launch event in Vegas this weekend, but haven't been able to find out if it's really happening and if so, what exactly is planned. Anyone have any info about this?

I'm also guess it's embargoed since I haven't seen any twitter or news posts about it. Looking forward to the coverage.

A little surprised that I haven't seen one bit of news about the Vegas event that was to have occurred this past weekend. I would have thought between the press drives and launch there would be at least some info coming out by now, even if only through social media channels. If anyone has heard anything, please let us know.

Carac, your explanation makes sense since there continues to be no info coming out about the event. Kind of frustrating for those of us eagerly waiting for any new info to be released about the car. Hopefully, come July, we'll be able to provide our own first hand observations about it. That day can't come soon enough.

We do a kind of closed doors evaluation on new models with our global distribution network before the media have their drives.
So that distrubution employees get to drive the car ahead of the media so they have at most the earliest word to sell the product. But anyway...

i8 slowly revealing...in secret, for now
Spoke to a local insider today and apparently a number of the area sales staff from various dealerships went off to a very private BMW session yesterday, where a production i8, in white, was revealed. Only company folks and no press, camera's, etc. The car may have been up near Pomona, at the BMW Training Cntr.
