BMW Prices i8 Hybrid At $135,700 - Will This Sell Better Than Cadillac's ELR?

BMW USA has announced the official price list for the i8 locally, where the hybrid sports car can be yours from $135,700.

Americans will soon be able to place an order for the BMW i8 as the model in question has just been priced in the country. According to the local division of the carmaker, the hybrid vehicle will start from 135,700 USD, which is the equivalent of 99,000 euros or 79,000 GBP, without the destination and handling charge, which will set you back for another 950 USD. Three packages will become available for the model, the Giga World, the Tera World and the Pure Impulse World.

It will sell well for a while, but as soon and the BMW greenies with more money than brains buy it, the sales will cool off.

The greenies will not buy it as it is not green enough. It will exceed the ELR sales because it will be sold world-wide.

I think Bimmer should have released a traditional super car first as an SLS fighter, then released an i8 afterward

More people will buy a $150k hybrid from BMW than will buy a rebadged Volt from Cadillac.

The ELR isn't even worth a mention. It's just another bad idea from GM management -- the kind of bad ideas that put them into bankruptcy in the first place.

How could it sell worse than the Cadillac?
