That is a facemeltingly beautiful design.

Right?!? By far my fav color for the i8.

It is 1000x better than a Prius. Not really comparable.

I agree. Protonic blue is the only color for this car. Or black.

what makes it better, in your estimation? i do know that the prius results in fantastic MPG numbers which is one of the goals of hybrid cars.

I mean I'd rather see one with an M5 TT V8 engine, but still these are impressive. I also think they look good in White I love the contrast.

I mean it looked nice in the config in the web site, but seeing actual real life pictures of it... SO much better.

It's meant to be a performance car, which is something the Prius never aimed to be. The i8 does the sports car well, while at the same time delivering very good mileage.

I was trying to imagine what it'd look like in red. The same orangish red that the i3 comes in. Any photoshoppers want to take a crack?

oh that does make some sense; what sports cars does it compare to?

It doesn't currently have any direct competitors in terms of layout or price, but the handling, in my opinion, is just about on par with a base (991) 911 Carrera. It's very good.
