His comments on the i8 were (verbatim):
Then there was the i8... I had no idea what to expect with this car, I'd never driven any kind of hybrid before. The i8 is stunning, the on track handling was superb, the (synthesized) soundtrack was entertaining and the torque... very addictive! If I was in a position to buy one I would take this over any 911 or any other exotica I have experienced to date. OK there is bugger all luggage space but who cares? It is stunning.

Wow! What a nice review. Not sure I agree with the i8 over ANY other exotic, but certainly over a 911 yes. The i8 is a great alternative to what's out there in this price range for sure.
