BMW I division is making the first step in the right direction I bet the second generation i8 will be a beast. The design looks great minus a few details but oh my lord I hate those wheels. Yes people who can afford a 135k car don't care about gas prices as much as the rest of the world. But fuel economy also saves you time at the pump specially if your staying in a short range this car allows you to go all electric. My point is that time is money and for people with large incomes 15 minutes of time could be worth a few hundred bucks (good lawyers make about $500/hour, 500/4= $125). And as for the R8 comparisons I would never consider the V8 knowing the V10 is what the car was built for. No doubt in my mind BMW is going to have an easy time selling this car in California and I look forward to seeing them on the streets
