No way, Ihave an i3 and came from a V8 Audi S5.

Thanks. Absolutey going to lease, have no interest in maintaining one of these long term (plus there are TONS of lease incentives).

We’re really close to getting an i3 for my wife to commute in. Any advice?

By far the best article written about VW since the scandal broke. Kudos, Torch. I hope the right people see this, and take it to heart.

Someone in my office tower has one of these. The first time I saw it I wondered “Why does that Metro have a Suzuki wing across the rear window?”

Desert camo!

Wow!
