I saw one in blue a few days ago and it looks awesome. I appreciate these cars for what they are, but I fall just short of loving it. Also lol'd at the snapchat usage...it's my first instinct every time I see something cool.

The wheels on the plug in accord are similar. I think they're styled this way for aero purposes.

Pretty cool! My buddy saw one cruising around the Bay Area a couple months back.

I've seen plenty of Lexus vehicles where I live park similarly, so parking like that isn't limited to BMW drivers...
