    Default Fisker is dead

    Kind of sad as the Karma was a gorgeous car.

    I've seen a few Fiskers on the road and they're impressive looking. As an aside, I saw my first Tesla Model S in the wild today - quite sexy...

    The Tesla is whole lot more car for the money.... Never mind it actually costs less than he Fisker. Still sad to hear of the death of Fisker.

    Why? The car was not considered great (looks were the only thing going for it) and the company has no money. The auto business is not a good place for someone with limited funds and a so-so car.

    I believe it was a pun. A poor one but a pun nonetheless.

    A poor pun is no fun but at least it's just one.

    I wouldn't call the Karma gorgeous, but it was cool. What killed it was Justin Bieber owning one.

    Yeah, it's probably not a good sign when your highest profile owner gets his monkey confiscated in Germany...

    I realize it's not, but that sure sounds like a great euphemism.

    I was being facetious, the pun didn't even cross my mind.

    Maybe they just had bad karma.
