Fisker may be going trendy here with a plug in hybrid, but no one in his price class is going to be embarrased to be seen in his cars. The powertrain will just be seen as a personal thing...

Create charging stations for work places as well. Start with 4 and patent it. My Company has 450 employees under one roof.
MPG is funny figures for any hybrid. If it’s charged up before putting it through the standard courses used to rate petroleum fueled cars, its engine will loaf along. Different story once the batteries run out of juice. There ought to be a sustained-course rating that really does compare apples-to-apples between hybrids and petroleum-only cars, with the hybrid forced to use gasoline only for long enough that it matters, or until the batteries are brought back to the same state they had at the beginning of the course.
This is what happens when you try to force your dogma to drive your Karma!!!
Far classier than a Volt, that’s for sure.
Running electric, these will be spookily silent. Turn your head and one might pop up in the driveway without your noticing. This run quiet capability could have a potential use as a police car (sorry 24/7 jackboot haters).
LOL!
Well at least it doesn’t change the laws of physics.
All I want to know, is where did he get photos of all my old cars? ;^)
Never ever ever buy a car based on looks. It probably won’t get you laid and will probably get you ...... well, you know
I know they’re going to be vandalized just like public phones on the street have. Some idiot will stick a coat hanger in it and short it out or crazy glue the cover closed.
I agree, some people have nothing better to do.
As an aside, I saw one of those Smart cars on a used car lot (not a dealership). The wanted over $10K for it.

First Smart car I saw was in Brisbane, Australia. I thought, who would ever buy such and ugly car. Then I started seeing them all over. In the Netherlands, kids routinely dump them in the canal. Original price new is just around $11K USD.
Put a real engine in that thing and it’d be nice.
Newsflash, new electric cars now doubles as a BBQ grill, who would have thought, story at eleven. The joke is son us, this green scam, shovel ready, enviromental, global warming, nonsense is all a fasade to allow these criminals to loot the American people.

They look like a rolling death trap to me.
Nah, if the meter runs out, YOUR car starts charging the next one down the line!
There’ve been small cars built before but that Smart car is the ugliest of them all. It’s what a PC car would look like.
Now, see...why can’t somebody just take that gorgeous bodywork, and set it onto a well-suspended, bare-bones chassis, with a WOO-HOO drivetrain underneath, and that’s all?? Why’ve we gotta have 10,000 “convenience” items that jack the bottom line up outta sight?
What’d be the crime in building a car with this kind of beautiful modern bodywork, superlative mechanicals underneath, and a truly Spartan no-nonsense cockpit; a stunning, performance automobile built to be driven?
Screw the iPod dock; I want a CAR!
