The striking Fisker Karma extended-range electric car has turned heads for months in our test program, from its distinctive design to its sci-fi hum soundtrack. During that time we've experienced far more than our share of frustrations. And in the final tally, the Karma scores a failing grade.
The Karma ranks as our lowest-rated luxury sedan. Of all sedans, only three have lower overall scores: Chrysler 200, Dodge Avenger, and Nissan Versa SV. (Learn how we test cars.)

For $107 K you culd build a Cobra Daytona Coupe w/a 302 base motor, a modern fuel injection system, a 6 speed trans, dial in how much HP you want & still get great gas mileage. (if you keep your foot off the floorboard)
And you could have a heck of a lot more fun.

5 yrs from now, you can buy it for pennies on the dollar, and swap in a Chevy LS motor for about 5 grand and have a kick ass buggy.

I have a V-10 BMW M6. It’s pretty awesome. I recommend it!
To: nascarnation
Cause I’m a Ford guy, but that does not mean a Corvette would not be on my list.
