I think the design antitheses of the i8 is the Nissan Leaf. It costs 1/4 as much, and has a little less than 1/3 the horsepower. However, its also visually indistinguishable from other sub-compacts. The Leaf is for people who don't want to notice that their car is electric. I can see why someone who spends $130K doesn't want to just blend in with traffic.
- pconner 11y agoThe Leaf is instantly recognizable. It's so weirdly shaped compared to other crossovers/hatchbacks. The Volt, on the other hand, looks a bit more like a "regular" car from far away. The most normal-looking electric vehicles are the ones that are variants of existing gas vehicles, like the eGolf or Ford's EVs.
- jsight 11y agoThe Leaf is a Versa hatchback with some design flourishes. It's really not that different (though it does look better).
