    They are $160k+, depends on the options. I believe all the Calgarian ones are loaded.

    There is at least 1 more blue one, i saw it down at the Glencoe golf course last i was there.

    First year ones are all loaded. You have the choice of buying a loaded one, or wait.

    But you will never get one out the door for less than $160k. First models way more as i think laser lights are like a 12k option on their own.

    Other than the looks, what's the huge appeal on the i8? Genuinely curious.

    The only thing that comes to mind for me is exclusivity.

    and I did not have the only say in the matter (most people just want it done ASAP and don't care about quality).

    If anything we made a better decision because we had a consensus and were all on the same page.

    Exactly. Cool car. Not good looking. Pretty mediocre performance for its cost as well.

    I think it looks super sweet. Ever since I saw it in Mission Impossible, it's very futuristic looking to me. I wouldn't mind one but at that price range, the competition is tough.

    It’s a super cool car. Having said that, for that money, there’s no chance I’d buy one. Like not even a bit.

    I was there in July, and noticed the same thing. Well, Telsas anyhow. I think I've seen more i8's in Calgary haha
