The i8 is a cool car but it was never designed to excel at anything. It was simply an experiment and a pretty odd one at that.
Its not powerful, not fast, doesn't handle very well, has no storage space, is not practical, and is not a good EV by any measure. No one builds a "halo" car which is strictly "meh" in all categories. That was never the objective...
The i8 was a pretty interesting experiment and that is what I find endearing.
I also loved my VW Thing.
