That dash looks horrendous. Looks like its already been in a wreck.
A lot of cars seem to be going to the fake instrument , tach, speedo display, I just don't like them.
The gauges are not fake. Yeah it's complicated to a new user, but it is gorgeous live.
She's offered to let us borrow it for the day. Well, it cost like $170K, so no thanks!
Those C-pillars. it's the PAWG for cars

Not at all accurate. The guys who are buying the v8's don't just want the power, they want the sound and the visceral experience; especially the challengers which are "fun" cars and usually a second car, they're purchased by guys who enjoy the complete experience. Feeling the little shake at idle, the rumble as it waits, the glorious sound as you get on it, hearing it wind up ... EV's are completely souless, I'd have more fun being pushed around in a shopping cart.

Maybe i'm wrong, from the pic it looked like a digital display in front of the steering wheel.
Digital does not equate to fake. The gauges are real. The i8 is a hybrid, it has a gasoline engine.
I should have said analog. I dislike digital gauges most have a fake look to them.
Me too...I like that analogy you had...I had just gotten used to identifying the Charger/Challenger pair with a simple mnemonic: The 4-door is a Charger because they charge more for the extra doors. The 2-door is a Challenger because it's a challenge to get into the back seats. And now they go and do this... I just can't win.

does Tesla fake exhaust and engine sounds?
No, but there is a way around it. Some cars have "Boom box", which is external speakers. Want a Hellcat? Lambo? You can make your Tesla sound visceral while blowing the doors off of other cars. Just get a copy of the engine sound you like and let 'er rip!
I'm with her and trav.
This bad boy gets attention. And she drives it; it ain't no garage queen. Been pretty dependable, too. I've helped her with a few small things. I doubt most people even know how to open the bonnet.
The outside styling looks great, wheels a touch big. But overall i like it, small front BMW kidneys look good.

Full electric or hybrid. I thought the i8 had a small 3 cylinder mill
Is there going to be a 4 door? They're still quite popular for police
What have you been smokin'?
Stream or rent the movie, "Bullitt". It stars Steve McQueen.
He's stalked by bad guys from Chicago.
A car chase scene ensues through the streets of San Francisco and out-of-town.
Note the bad guys' car. It's the black one if you're not sure.
Get back to us.

That’s kind of ridiculous

I think it does a pretty decent retro tribute to the original:
They've shortened up the front end, but tried to pay homage to the original grille and air extractor hood. Also tried to recreate the original "hips".
