Default Saw a Fisker today....! WOW...!

Stopped to buy gas and in front of me sat a silver Fisker ES parked in the adjacent parking lot. At first glance I thought it was a Viper, then I noticed 4 doors and other body lines that said....That's no Viper..so what the hell is it ???????? Having never heard of the car, let alone seeing one before, while the gas was pumping I went over to check it out and later when I got home I looked it up on the net. If, you never heard of them or seen one....do yourself a favor and check the links out below. The car I viewed was just over the top gorgeous....!

Beautiful cars. It has been reported that essentially all of them have been breaking, but Fisker is working on it.

Fisker pics have been floating around for years. I'm a bit surprised you never saw one (picture). They start at over $90K.

Gregg,

I got a chance to ride in one. Very quick off the line and they have the odd hybrid silent operation (I just don't like it). They are nice, but if I was to drop 100K on a vehicle (not anytmie soon), that would not be one of the choices. Fisker has had one issue after another with the Karma's. And recently, one was accused of catching fire in a garage and burning down half of a home. I think they were rushed into production and this is the result. Too many bugs.

And any home with a $100k car in the garage must've been pretty expensive... even just half of it!

I really like the look of the car except for the front end. Wayyyyyy too much going on there... Just kind of kills it for me.

Fisker Karmas look hot. Especially in charcoal.

isn't anything that's beautiful, sleek, sexy and curvy a high maintenance proposition?

That smiling grille reminds me of late '40s-early '50s Buicks. Overall, it's a brave design that shows electric can be sexy. And don't they boast a 200-mile range on one charge?
