IMO, Lithium Ion is not the answer. Its a toy the industry is playing with. When we see cars using super capacitors, then I'll pay attention.

You can get a discount on the delta because most dealers will do near-invoice on an AH3 vs a 335i, simply due to supply and demand. It is common for people to pay $1500+ invoice (before all incentives of course), on the 335i, but you can get much closer to invoice on an AH3.
