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...
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).
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!
