Getting aggressive and quite competetive. Germans are quite competetive in general and know how to compete.

no thanks! I Don't even like cars with electric steering. If there is no steering shaft I wont own one.

BMW i3 has a battery range of less than 100 miles and MSRP is above $42k, not talking about ugly design.

My Mustang has electric steering and there is a steering shaft. The electric part is the power assist.

I've seen a few of these BMW i3 and they are very ugly. Looks like a Barie Doll toy car.

Yes, most still have a shaft. I have no problem with Electric assist as long as there is a shaft.

True. But one never knows what makes the next fad.. And the battery range is not relevant for the urbanites. Besides, they are updating the battery with a better range in a few months. It is going to be interesting to see who is the first to deliver the numbers though. BMW has the capital, they figured out the lease game with the great success in past.

I strongly dislike the BMW i3. Not for it's looks, but for it's tall and skinny tire'd nature. It leans and complains when pitched into a corner. And it has a maximum roadholding similar to cars from the 1970's. This is not the direction I want to see new cars go. I absolutely hated my test drive. It's a $46,500 Chevy Chevette that can go a real world 80 miles if you baby it, and 160 miles with the range extender running. No Thank You.

The i3 is the modern-day Isetta. And I think it still looks better than the 4th gen Prius.
