  1. well the i8 is cheaper than all of the cars you mentioned. plus it's a sportcar and the most advanced at that. carbon fiber, hybrid with all the BMW goods. sounds like a king to me.

  3. ewt415 I'm not even a BMW fan. btw the LFA is 4 times more expensive than the i8. so again you are comparing apples with oranges. you do realize that a ultimate driving machine doesn't need to be the one with the biggest engine right? or are you american? luxury for you guys is making something bigger. almost all bmw's are ultimate driving machines(especially the M5 and M3/4). none of them is the fastest car in the world but nobody ever said that that's the definition. and revolutionary? well which one of the cars you mentioned has carbon, hybrid and german luxury/design? all that for the price of a normal sports car. what would you call revolutionary? if it could fly. get real kid. you lost the argument the moment you decided to rant without knowing the facts. btw you might have noticed how the guy before me and I myself pointed out that it's a sportscar. the guy in the video clearly compares the i8 several times with the 911 and R8. a supercar is nothing more than the name for a sportscar that is more exotic then the rest. the reason is, there is a gap in the english language for small sports cars like the cayman, audi TT and alfa romeo C4, (all around 50k) and the bigger sports cars like the 911 and R8 (around 100k). because of that and because exotic sports cars can be named super cars you could label the i8 as a super car simply because it is superior to it's sports car competitors in terms of exoticness. nobody would would by a car because of i's label. don't you worry that some poor old millionaire walks into a car dealer and ends up with an i8 instead of the 4 times more expensive car that he actually wanted.

  4. it's a carbon fiber hybrid from BMW. it doesn't get any better than that. if porsche would build a 911 out of carbon and build in the most advanced hybrid system plus all the luxury, design and materials like in their other cars would you call that entry level? the nasty japanese cars that you people buy in the US are a joke. nowhere els in the world would people say "mhh I wonder if I should by that lexus and not the BMW". only in america^^ luxury in the US means making something bigger and more expensive. you guys should really not judge anyone.

  6. ewt415 no of course not. that was really just a cheap try. I'm sorry. what I wanted to say is that some run of the mill japanese afterbirth, modeled after european cars, but fucked up the design anyways, with the usual japanese luxury and prestige that they are known for is clearly better. "BMW goods" LOL what was I thinking? all that nonsense about great cars and driving pleasure is just propaganda. as long as a car is expensive and has a big engine it's clearly better. why use new technology and sensible pricing if others are able to build more expensive cars.
