    Just saw an Intel commercial with Jim Parsons from the Big Bang Theory and he was driving an i8.

    Actually those who used to fawn over every utterance finally figured him out. Let him fade into a well earned obscurity.

    The first time I saw an i8, I spontaneously laughed. I am not one to care much about 'sheet metal art' but the side, channels in the i8 are goofy:

    Yes, your hand can fit in that channel between the hatch and rear lights. I would have to see wind tunnel data to be convinced it makes sense. But if you left the car parked outside for a week or two in the Spring, you'd probably find a bird nest in the channel.
