After driving the Leaf and the Tesla S, I think I am on board with buying an all electric car. Although the Tesla S is the best car I've ever driven, I can't bring myself to pay $80k for any car. The Leaf was cool, but a little cheap feeling interior wise. I'm thinking the i3 will be a good middle ground between the two if it's priced less than $40k.

No announcement yet.
Anyone else considering buying an i3?

I will be getting the BRZ STI, but it won't be available for a couple years. The Tesla S, I was literally about to put the down payment on but backed off because I just can't bring myself to paying $80k for a car, even if it were a super car. The i3 comes out next year and should be priced under $40k if rumors are correct. But yes, when the STI or i3 comes out, I will be selling the E30 for sure.sigpic

heck, even natural gas. ironically the shale oil boom has contributed to a significant decline in GHG emissions from the USA. we almost matched the kyoto accord goals without even doing anything, like exporting our pollution to other countries like the EU does and then counting it as meeting emissions targets.
aside from that - the i3 is pretty damn fugly. iM3?
I wonder what the market for a used Tesla S will be in a couple years?

buy a Prius and save thousands over the price of a BMW.
And if you need the satisfaction of the roundel, pay me a few grand and I'll happily glue a couple roundels to it so you can sleep better at night beliveing you own a BMW. It'll be the cheapest, most efficient and reliable BMW you've ever owned!If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!
