I can't argue with a one minute cycle time. I can debate 40 thousand euros for a 'city car'!

A lot of the comments I've seen about the i8 price are silly. Wealthy people will always pay for style and image. They could care less what mileage it gets, as long as they can brag about being super green and look good doing it.

Also, the quality of the surface of a color impregnated plastic or CF panel is questionable. Who currently uses them? I haven't seen a non-painted plastic (except on very small toys) panel that looked good. Landshut has lots of technology and experience with plastics, so maybe they also made a breakthrough, or two.
