The people, they love the Fisker. Have a look at the crowd at the Fisker booth shortly after the little plug-in-hybrid-maker-that-could unveiled its ruby red hardtop convertible concept vehicle as well as the production version of the Karma sedan the company unveiled at last year's Detroit show.
The Karma S concept, as the company is calling the convertible, is a good-looking thing. But so is the Karma sedan on which it is based. The Karma S shares its aluminum structure with the sedan. The concept and production sedan use the same dual electric motors and turbocharged GM 2.0-liter four-cylinder. Presumably, the Karma S would have essentially the same performance as the sedan, which is to say zero to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds.
Also, according to Fisker, the Karma and presumably the Karma S has "EcoChic." The sedan will cost $87,900 (or $80,400 after U.S. government tax credits). The company promises it will start making deliveries in the fourth quarter of this year. -- Daniel Pund, Senior Editor, Detroit

"Tesla can kill their ass goodbye once this thing ships"
Why do you think this will ever ship?

Good point firstwagon. But if it comes as/when advertised, it will put Tesla to shame. I'm hoping that it does.
and ftr i meant to write "kiss" not "kill" in my first comment. oops!
