Why did you pick the LC500h over the LC500?

Funny I was just researching the i8 some more. I thought it was only a 2 seater but looking again I see little back seats like the 911. Costs 50% more than the LC though. It is slick looking, and after selling for 4 years I think I've only seen one on the road so pretty exclusive. My local dealer has a 2016 still new on the showroom floor. Maybe I'll look at used - they are depreciating pretty rapidly according to cars.com. That's also a bad sign too though.
I wonder how often those swing-up doors hit cars parked next to them...
Edit - I stopped by the BMW dealer today to check it out. Very sweet looking in person (this one was wrapped in matt graphite), but what a pain to get in and out of! Door sill is higher than the seat, so you literally fall into it, and good luck climbing over the sill to get out without hitting your head on the upswung door. Not a daily driver unless you're a gymnast or under 35 years old. Very comfy once in the seat however. Back seats look like they could hold kids but I didn't even try to get in them as I feared I wouldn't be able to get out. Interior was not upscale at all; more futurist plastic? I left scratching my head wondering what niche this car filled.
