The reality is that there is about $150k to $200k worth of technology packed into these Karma's. Anyone getting in for less than $120k right now can consider it a deal. I can understand the price increase frustrates, but that's the nature of the beast in starting a HI-TECH Auto company.

The demand in Europe is off the charts. Several countries need much more than the current limit of 75 ea. Of course that's about to change any week now - for the better.

Demand in the US was very strong...dipped by 15% to 20% or so....and right back up again now that people see/driven the post-production vehicle.

I expect Fisker will sell 1500 to 2000 cars through April. May - Dec they could sell another 4000 to 6000. Just my opinion...

Brian - Then don't buy the car Brian. I have a few friends at AV that will take your order..provided you're still on the list.

Really? My $500 iPad has more technology than that car. Sorry, but putting a battery and electric motors on a car is no justification for the price. The quality of the car is fine, but no better than my Lexus at half the price. The performance is downright awful for a car in that price range - probably the slowest $100k+ car out there. There are *much* better cars from proven companies that you can buy for that. There may not be any better "looking" cars for that price, but that's only part of what makes a car a good car.

Brian - Are you not the owner or originator of the Fisker "OWNERS" Club...? If you really feel the Fisker Karma seems like a $70k car with lipstick, then why did you put a deposit down on one in the first place...? I read your post and you flip - flop more than my younger sister in a shoe store.

I'm disappointed to hear your lack of faith or interest in the car, but enough already. Most of us here don't have to drive 125k mph to the office. Most of us hear are ready for a change....we want to give the Fisker Karma a shot. I have no problems with BMW, Mercedes, Porsche or Toyota (Lexus)...as this board has probably owned some if not all. However, We believe in the vision and passion of Henrk Fisker and team behind him. I personally love the Karma. I love the fact that I can drive 45 to 52 miles on battery as it fits my daily commute. I know as AONE and battery companies advance, I'll one day replace the existing battery with one that gets 100 to 200 miles per full charge. I'm ready to give OPEC the middle finger and and rid myself of foreign oil. You just wait until things escalate with Iran... You're looking at $150 oil again....perhaps more.
Look...I understand that the car may be out of your price range (or not) at this point....for that I hope you consider the Nina next year or 2013. What I have little tolerance for is your juvenile comments, especially as the OWNER of Fisker Owners Club. The harsh reality is that you don't know WTF your talking about as it relates to the technology in this car. It is one thing to design games on an IPAD...another to build the Karma.

Look...I'm pleased you're taking delivery as a new owner of the Karma.

I hope you enjoy the car and sing its' praises in the future.
