2012 Fisker Karma Road Test
The new publicity-in hybrid integrates recycled materials with high blueprint and performance to reach a class of its own
Those looking to spend $100,000 on a car have many options—saving except performance, coddling comfort, strong styling and delight hybrids. The Fisker Karma EVer appeals to those who seek all of those, but are compliant to meet somewhere in the middle. It isn't the fastest or best performing in that expense range, the most luxurious, or the hybrid with the best mileage. It is, however, a hugely formidable and attractive car from a new and interesting manufacturer that delivers enough of each of those components to thrive it a unique and obvious choice for many potential buyers. This new house seeks to increase the use of recycled materials and to decrease collision, wherever possible. Partners and suppliers are selected for their responsible concern practices, and even its dealers need to get on the program—showrooms must be renovated, not built from gouge.
