Fisker Automotive, Inc., the new American manufacturer of premium green automobiles, unveiled its first production car — the 2010 Fisker Karma. With a starting price of $87,900 ($80,400 after US government tax credits), 1,000 orders for the 100 mile-per-gallon luxury plug-in hybrid have been received since the prototype debuted at the 2008 NAIAS.

@Janusha
What the has education anything to do with stupid cars? And why is it every moron tries to personalize crap around?
Well that just …
Well that just makes you a really uneducated person that just dont know any better.
@Janusha
Aston …
@Janusha
Aston Martin looks like crap. Don’t care about biased opinions of some stupid design awards.
Well… looking …
Well… looking like an Aston isnt a bad thing. They do win design awards for every single car they make. However I dont think this looks too much like an Aston Martin.
@Janusha
Should I …
@Janusha
Should I start ranting that this Karma is Aston Martin clone?
Tesla is better …
Tesla is better looking because its not designed by an american Its simply a slightly longer Lotus and they kept the Lotus design.
Tesla is a good …
Tesla is a good looking car, but the problem I have with it is the rear is too conventional.
Fisker, too me, is more sophisticated and has more of a european sensibility in it’s design.
@f00kumofo123 …i …
@f00kumofo123 …i dunno, i think tesla looks as good.
Tesla is still …
Tesla is still better looking… so there’s a tradeoff.
If i had $80,000 to …
If i had $80,000 to buy a car this would be in my garage.
yes I like the car, …
yes I like the car, but give credit when its due…the Tesla is zero gas, and that means a lot….zero versus hybrid ….gas one day will be history same as dinosaurs, whether we like it or not, so we’d better start advancing in the zero gas projects….and by the way, Tesla do 300 miles per charge, which is a lot, 0-60 miles in 4 second, that’s even faster than Ferrari…so what you talking about….both cars are cool, but I would side with tesla because of the zero gas
This sounds like an …
This sounds like an intelligent bunch. Can one of you tell me why recharging can’t work off a dynamo system like on a bike light kind of arrangement?
100mpg is pretty …
100mpg is pretty good. an all electric car like the tesla takes 12 hours to charge and only goes about 150-200 miles. this car keeps going on just a sip of fuel.
true, Americans …
true, Americans take road trips, but not so often these days. with the price of gas, most people r more concerned about affording the trip to work and back. I dont think the change to an electric would be to great for Americans to accept. After all, many people accepted the Prias even if it is a new technology and part electric (not to mention ugly as hell). I think most r more concerned about gas prices to really care about what they drive as long as it is cheap to operate.
I did not mean to …
I did not mean to type regardless in the post below.
Right now americans have a cheap option that works, and everyone understands, I think the change would be too hard, and not enough would be willing to “maybe” have fuel for their car for the next 20 years, that was not the case back then, there was no option as good as gas cars. The reality is that most americans WANT clean option, but function and price tend to win. That is my opinion.
lots of americans …
lots of americans drive on road trips, why shoot yourself in the foot? With a plugin hybrid you can never use gas until the day you need to drive 700 miles, for you this car is perfect. Regardless
What do you have to …
What do you have to say about the european car makers than? There supposed to be ’superior’….
You know, the same …
You know, the same statement was also said about early gasoline cars. Time and technology was the answer to that.
lol I never drive …
lol I never drive 300 miles in any given day. The most I ever drive is 15 miles. The EV1 could drive 90 miles between charges and that was with the old style lead acid type batteries. That car was built in the 1990s and since our battery technology has advanced considerably. The reason why we have hybrid cars is because the US is basically owned and ran by the oil business.
Also, they are the …
Also, they are the future because they are cheaper. Being “green” is not it. They also have more potencial for preformance than even gas. The limiting factor is battery power. We need a way to charge a car in under 30 min, and not destroy the life of the battery. Also, there actually IS an all electric Sport car; it is call the Tesla, 3.7 sec 0-60 with a 200 mile range when driving calm. Tesla is now profitable, so there IS some demand. It is a very fun car, but it is only fun, not practical.
The problem with an …
The problem with an ALL electric car is reality. How are you going to drive 700 miles in your all electric car? Stop every 300 miles for a day? You forget to charge your car and need to go to work in the morning, what do you do? Hybrids let us get the good from both. Since the car runs off an electric motor charged by gas it will be easy to replace that power souce with something better in the futer, like hydrogen, with out a major change that has to happen all at once. Hybrids are the future
why cant they just …
why cant they just make an all electric car?? These hybrids are worthless. I do like the look of this one, but common… enough with hybrids! I want something that I dont have to put gas in at all!
For sure, lol!
For sure, lol!
Nothing like a coal …
Nothing like a coal powered car, that makes you feel green!

Go nuclear!
I think methane is better.
