lol i love the fact that you point out the i8 is a 4 seater... as if anyone uses those... o wait, i have once... besides that here's my judgement of these vehicles bc i actually love to compare the two
i8 pros: very futuristic looking, good use of materials in right places, will always surprise you in capability (except gas mileage) but how much can you really expect from the 3 cylinder, swan wing doors, beautiful imo from almost every angle, its a bmw which doesnt mean much on its own but you get bmw service level quality, which from my experience is almost second to none
cons: it is a bmw, and it will remind you of this all the time, the interior does not really seperate itself that much from the rest of them, and the cool key is already being used for other vehicles, it is slow for the price, you always have to explain what it really is when you stop places
new nsx: cant do pros and cons really because i have no experience but of facts we kno: it is twice the car of the i8, double the cylinders, double the turbos, double the electric motors... it is an acura which means the service will not be amazing by any standard (atleast from my dealer) but the interior is nothing like any of the other cars except for the badge. there is more technology. it will cost more. idk about the i8 but this will likely only be able to be serviced at certain dealers. it will be FAST.
summation:
i8 - will likely be replaced by something, and its a good start but i think it has a lot of improving that is yet to come, overall rating: good car for the money if you have a another supercar in your garage as we have no idea what long term reliability will be like
nsx - i have no clue but it seems like its ready to punch some supercars in the face and then get 40mpgs bc hey, it has a ninth gear
