    Interesting. I actually put some $$ down on a future Fisker Karma a couple months back...

    Very interesting, certainly sounds pretty fishy. Of course we're mostly hearing one side of it but still.....

    Fisker is put in pretty bad light from everything I read. That is a shame because its distracting Tesla from its primary goal. It is really a dirty way to play for them to design the exterior of Tesla's car then come out with their own. That said....

    Both cars are serial hybrids and the basic idea of a serial hybrid is (as far as I know) not owned by anyone. I hope both cars are made! I doubt that the two cars will vary much from GM's Volt design technically.

    Fiskers Carma is drop dead gorgeous. $80,000 is a high ticket car but WOW. Fiskers other cars are also great visually. Its a shame both companies cannot work together.
