| I looked at them when new and they had a hefty price. Performance wise no different than Crown Vic police interceptor P71 package. Lots available if someone needs a four door cruiser overhead cam 4.6 but if you want faster look at the 4 cam 32 valve 4.6 |

When I was working at Ford Powertrain the Advance Garage had a Marauder with a supercharged 5.4 4 valve, that was a fun car. The Australian Falcons were pretty fun too. |

This was an interesting little break from all the Teslas, and 4 door Maserati's and Porsches today:
Not sure I desire one, but it's the first one I've seen in the flesh.
(Of course if someone gave me one I might be able to lower my standards enough to be seen in it)

Huh.. I thought Karma had folded a couple years ago... too much competition from Tesla or something. |

I thought it was a Fisker Karman, but never heard of a Revero made by Karman. I’m no expert. Is this company VW related?

Dangit, I visited their website just long enough to get FB spammed by 3 wristwatch companies, a breeder of race horses and a marriage proposal by some cat from Komanawannalayu- it looks nice in the brochure.

Too true. Probably a major factor in why I could pick up a used one so cheap. Funniest thing I've heard about its looks, "the rear looks like it is giving birth to another car".
I wanted an electric commuter, thought I was going to get a Leaf. I'd recommend not test driving an i3 if you are in the market and think it is hideous.
Perhaps I just have a thing for refrigerator shaped vehicles with too skinny tires.
Aztek... now I can't stop thinking about that, thanks. Can't. Unsee That. Kind of like the new Pepsi logo looking like a fat kid with his belly sticking out his shirt.

It was heading the opposite direction in rush hour freeway- but I saw a vehicle only a few people here would appreciate and was never imported to the US- a Suzuki tintop model JA71 (like a regular tintop but with a higher safari-type roof with skylights). It's a unicorn this far inland to Suzuki geeks

If I remember correctly, hurricane Sandy dealt the death blow to Fisker.

Thanks a lot.
