Who thinks the i8 will be a success ?

[comrie]

After all the initial hype of the launch of the i8 has died down.....does anyone think the car will be a success and sold in any significant numbers.

As much as I like the styling of the car......is it really a £100k car, when a new M6 can be acquired for around £75k.

Has anyone considered purchasing one ?

thanks

Some finance figures received this morning if interested

Standard car with government plugin deducted


£10,000 deposit
24 months
8000 miles per year
7.3% apr
GFV £54,591
£1941 per month

£10,000 deposit
36 months
8000 miles per year
7.3% apr
GFV £48,419
£1583 per month


I thought the GFV would have been a bit higher than quoted

I was hoping that the GFV would have been nearer £65k @ 24 months and the apr nearer 5% to get me tempted
