i8 First Spyshots BMW i8.

[rollo]

I'm sure the reviews will be great. The car itself looks fantastic. But if I'm paying 125,000 Euro or more I don't want something that is compromised. By having to make it a "green" supercar it is compromised. I don't care how much fuel economy I get. I want a full fat sports car for that price, not something that is good despite the powerplant. It could do 1,000mpg. I don't care. If I can afford 125,000 Euro I don't care about the fuel cost.

I understand and appreciate your logic and feelings. I am more open-minded about this car because I have a hunch that it might be a hoot to drive, albeit different.

Big, unexpected problem with the launch of the new hybrid sportster from BMW.
BMW execs are frantically chasing around, looking for answers into the sudden no-show of the future of conscience-free motoring gratification. Following rounds and rounds of interrogation with a number of potential suspects - SCOTT27 wasn't one of them - an unlikely culprit emerged following a single remark in passing. The BMW M4 Concept simply said: "i8 it".

I see what you did there, and I agree 100%. I can't wait for him to retire.

If this "creative marketing" programme is sanctioned by a higher authority within BMW, and Scott has told us it is (I remember), I bet he doesn't report back to his superiors when it goes wrong, such as situations like this when he just pisses people off.

Oh... NVM. I think we are talking about different people. Someone else took a high up position at BMW in 2006.

Lol people still trust this shit?

Yeah, it's pretty obvious "Scott" is more than one person.
