What will the i8 cost

While this argument may stand true for more favorited, older generations of BMW, such as the E36, we can only make an educated guess as to whether this car will hold the hearts of their owners, or be disregarded for the latest and greatest BMW.

With that being said, the market for hybrid sports cars is still new territory and with the technology and design evolving fast, the I8 may just get left behind as a piece of pioneering history.
