As for the i3, seems really odd to talk about buying a small economy car for $40k+ and then talk about the money you save on gas. I am assuming the market for this is people that want to stop using gas out of principle/environment or like the odd look of the car as I can't see any financial benefit to it.

Not sure now, but most of BMW dealers were giving enormous discount on i3 earlier this year. You can buy one for around $40k, and with $10k in tax break, you can have the car for the same price as the higher end Prius. There are also many people (including ourselves) who leased their i3 for around $200 a month. Not sure if they are still running these special promotes though...
