I happen to like cars. And BMW has become my favorite brand of driving car simply because I am a BMW owner and love that manufacturer. It doesn't mean that I am talking down other brands. I simply prefer BMW.
The new I-8 (CHECK IT OUT HERE) is something that I'm looking at to replace my 2011 535(M). You might imagine that I don't fit in well with the 'occupy wall street' crowd. I don't feel the slightest bit of shame driving a cool car.
Unfortunately, this is a concept car. The actual production model is due out in 2014. It's an electric car with an engine to keep the battery charged. Sadly, environmentally correct cars aren't cheap. This one picks the pocket to the tune of around a quarter of a million dollars. So maybe, I'll have to satisfy myself with a 'regular car' until I have the cash to throw down.
All the same, the new I-8 is a very cool car.
BUT - no, it doesn't mean that I'll give up my 4x4. It's not a sin to have single-purpose autos.
Cool car post. Hey, I just made a car post, too. Great minds think alike!
ReplyDeletePlease stop reading my mind, Opus, or Men-in-Black will take you away and lock you up for possessing all of those national secrets... ;^)
ReplyDeleteSettle for "a regular car?" Poor baby.
ReplyDeleteI'd be surprised if it's ONLY $250k... It is an interesting design though
ReplyDeleteElectric cars are the future...as soon as the government gets out of the way.
ReplyDeleteRace, there's a world of difference between the VOLT and the BMW I8...
ReplyDeleteOld NFO, there is no price but the speculation runs rampant. I think BMW will want to grab the market in a price range. The $250K number is only my uneducated guess.
I know what you mean. I need my 4X4 pick-up.
ReplyDeleteI love the second photo of the BMW car with the bizarre white and blue design. Those sliding doors and huge wheels are breathtaking! Driving one down the road will definitely get heads turning towards it. =)
