3. Company backed by Al Gore

4. Vehicle cost = $89,000

Fisker ran a series of ads in last Saturday's WSJ.

Thanks for the link. Here's an interesting item:

[Karma] Production is scheduled to start in December, with about 15,000 vehicles a year expected to hit the U.S. market starting next June. Many of the 1,500 people who have made deposits on the Karma are former BMW and Mercedes owners who want an environmentally friendly car without sacrificing luxury, Mr. Fisker said.

So 1,500 people put up cash in advance on cars that have not even gone into production, yet they still got a half-billion dollar loan? Good to know that this Administration is taking the taxes of the 99% to subsidize production of a luxury car that only the 1% can afford. Are the OWS idiots aware of this?
