Default I saw a Fisker Karma today!!!!!

Hey guys I was on the way to work this morning and noticed a beautiful dark grey Fisker Karma. I have never seen one before and was wondering if you have guys have had a chance to see or even experience one of these beautiful cars of the future. I just looked up the sales number and it shows that they have had only about 1300 orders of this vehicle so it is a very rare car. Anyone else seen this thing up close. AMAZING!!!

I saw one at the auto show a year or two ago. I saw it from a distance and wondered what is that?? Walked over and checked it out. Beautiful car.

Wow you are lucky! I've yet to see one despite living in an area that would most likely have one

I had dinner with someone last night who has a Fisker on order. He's been waiting for delivery and they've continually pushed back the date. Current ETA is December. I told him I want to see it in person when he gets it.

Fisker knows how to make'em pretty.

Saw their new car/concept/thing called the Surf and it's definitely a head-turner.

One of the Fisker execs lives near my house and drives one, very sexy car in person. Seen it broke down on the side of the road about 2 miles from my house, seen the same guy driving another one couple days later in a different color.

I was just gonna ask J.P. How reliable are they? I mean some of the most beautiful cars in the world are worthless piles of crap in that department, Aston Martin, Ferrari, and others. I guess ferrari's arent that bad if you maintain them, but at $10,000 for a brake job...YIKES!
