I've seen one almost daily for a while now when I walk past either of the two BMW centers in close proximity to where I live and I can't say that I agree with you.
To me the i8 (and even more so the i3) looks like some sort of weird Japanese spaceship from the future and not at all the subtle luxurious classy design that I expect from a German Premium wagon. In short it's to much attention, screaming "I'm here, look at me". I'm not a rapper I want timeless class not flashy bling.
- threeseed 11y agoI've seen a few on the road and they definitely aren't timeless. They will be considered tacky when people look back on them. But I suspect the purpose of them is very similar to the iMac. Designed to be distinctive, talked about and just a tad polarising.
- arethuza 11y ago"weird Japanese spaceship from the future" I must like that look then - i rather like the looks of i3 as well! NB And I'm not even a huge fan of BMWs after owning an X5 for a while....
- vetinari 11y agoi3??? That's so ugly, that I wondered, what stuff were the designers smoking and how they managed to persuade the higher-ups to actually produce that. But I understand you after owning X5 ;)
- arethuza 11y agoJust goes to show! Mind you when I first saw a Tesla (I've only seen one) I did think "That new Ford Mondeo looks really nice"... :-)
- hultner 11y agoYeah I have to agree with you, Tesla is missing distinction and brand characteristics, it's a good first attempt at premium but not quite there. However they are heading along the right track so I think that if they persist they'll mature and develop brand character over time.
