I think Henrik Fisker has always designed great looking cars. Especially since he used to design for Aston Martin. I fell in love with the Fisker Tramonto. He has another design based off the BMW 6 series I think called the Latigo? Don't really remember.

I forget which way round the names are, but yeah he based a design on the 6series and the SL. Personally, I thought it was a little weird, but this new Karma design is more original and I love it!

I think his new designs are actual new cars instead of remakes of current existing other models. From the looks of it, it's set to take on the Porsche Panamera and the Maserati Quattroporte in terms of price.

Fisker Karma >>> Porsche Panamera.

Even though I have not seen the Porsche, I can predict that the styling of the Karma is more appealing, at least the exterior. I am not so sure for the interior, the Karma looks a little weird on the dashboard...

Oh well, I put a downpayment for the Karma down.

Best regards,

CSL

It looks far too derivitive of a Mas GT if you ask me. I'm one of the select few who doesn't really love Fisker's designs. I think they're a bit...I dunno...the design lacks cohesion. There's no real flow. It looks like a bunch of eye candy slapped on a classic long hood/short rear deck sports car profile. I guess that works for most people but not really for me.

Oh well, I like Fisker's SL-based Tramonto though, and I kinda like the Latigo (sp?). Just not sure bout this one.

It looks like a bloated Maser Quattroporte. I like it though.
