Not much in the press...but they're on track to deliver to customers in February... anyone taken this for a test drive or otherwise familiar with CODA?

150 miles of range... around $32K after rebates/credits...

Looks like a Honda or Ford to me...

Plain and pedestrian, but at least they're pushing the range envelope

^^^^^^ I agree. But at this point in time, the more of these cars come into the market, the better it is for everyone, including Fisker.

February, like the next month set to start here in a few days? Where are all the auto magazine reviews and test drives?

They apparently have a shop setup in Century City (West of LA) so I may pop in and take one for a spin to compare to the Karma.

Thank God for clear headlights and red tail-lights. Without that, I wouldn't be able to tell if that car was coming or going. That front styling is hideous. The rest is mundane.
Cheers,

Not sure I believe it. They've missed more self-imposed deadlines than fisker (though I doubt Coda has a bunch of people waiting anxiously for one). The last article out stated they were supposed to deliver in December...

Yeah we'll see... its nice to see a sub $30K (as low as $25K I've heard) after rebates... that can do 120-150 miles and is reasonably practical (though definitely not "luxury" ... more of a "working man's EV").

Agreed, it's a great first step. I do think the bland styling may do it a disservice though. People already see EVs as quaint appliances.

Maybe, but the interior fittings and styling looks pretty good for a car of this price range. I guess the thinking is that you don't really look at the outside of your own car very much anyway, so they spent their time and money on the inside of the car.
