    Wow, that's... weird.  I don't think I've ever seen a 'Road Test' by MotorWeek that showed nothing but stock footage from a manufacturer.  I've been watching the show for about 30+ years...  Usually they only use manufacturer footage for previews instead.  Maybe Fisker was unable to deliver a Karma to them on the East Coast?

    on paper, it does sound like a carolla. one thing i think mw forgot to mention was that the car was built for cruising. and even though the carolla can do 120, it probably can't cruise comfortably at that speed

    That's too heavy. It's not a Bentley- doesn't have the size and power but weighs the same amount???! Poor engineering.

    эта самая прогрессивная система гибрида проблема только одна в неё не хотят верить инвесторы а она может дать рабочие места и создать свой рынок одновременно

    Honda has it right with the FCX... electric tech is a stepping stone unless there's a tech breakthrough whereby batters get 50% lighter and more efficient and charges is 95% less time

    Bs stock footage how are you going to comment on it without driving it!?
  • @1guyin10
    More likely that it will fail because of missteps by Fisker in managing the launch. 100% recall rates and burning peoples garages down won't help either. It is a great design, but it was launched on a shoestring and it shows.

    Beautiful car, not so beautiful engineering. RIP Fisker.

    No they don't. It takes far more energy to produce the hydrogen than it does to fill up batteries.

    I Love this car but the numbers don't lie, Tesla Model S wins. Its All EV, adjustable ride height, 2 full trunks and approximately 300mi range not to mention you get the full package @ 100 grand not just the basic. God this car sure is beautiful though.
  • @liyuling1984
    this car is a pioneer of luxury ev, but it will fail due to its hefty price.
  • @Lambo6fo
    I would like it more if it wasn't electric. V8 anyone???
  • @rickslick730
    NO! that's not what i'm talking about, please read my blog i just posted. I agree with you! we (Americans)Are not,

    If I were rich I'd buy one of these just for the body, rip all the electric junk out ant stuff a real engine in it.
