What the i8 represents most members here cannot appreciate as yet based on the responses. Give it a few years when more cars like this are made. That being said, everyone is entitled to their opinions and diversity is a good thing.  |
Cannot appreciate, or simply understand, in the here and now, the R8 is still the vastly superior super car? That's the category. Let's not make this a "oh they just don't get it." Whether you believe the i8 represents a wave of the future or not, they're branding it as a super car, and surely understand in that realm, it's not that super, by comparison, just yet. I can very easily and intelligently say I do love the i8 and what they're trying to do with it. But it's no comparison right now, today, here where the question was asked... |
You disagreed with what I said and then repeated what I just said so I'm confused.
Like I said the i8 is not be appreciated for what it is today. This is represented in the overwhelming responses towards the R8. Throughout history the leading edge (In this case a new kind of super car) has always had a small following in the beginning. In the same way the M1 was not appreciated until much later after it was not in production anymore. It's not a knock at anyone as everyone is entitled to their liking, but as we all know history repeats itself and in my opinion this will be the case for the i8.
