    It's what I like to call "aggressively feminine." What's the price on this pile of crap anyway? Probably in the base C6 area, no?

    GT350 stripes on a Cooper Mini does not a GT350 make.


    Even more heinous is the laurel that seems clearly intended to evoke a Cobra.


    Leave the Mini alone. It's a fine car as is.

    @smalleyxb122: The laurels come from the original, "classic" mini cooper.

    @steelwheels: an eeror in every psot!: I understand the heritage of the laurel. My complaint was more with the placement, even though it's not a placement of a Cobra logo on any original GT350/GT500, and it's not even the evocative of the proper Cobra logo. It's just that coupled with the GT350-esque stripes, the laurel seems to be reminiscent of the Cobra head from the AC based Shelby Cobras.


    Perhaps I'm reading too much into it.

    Getting "Schnitzerized" sounds like a bad thing. As in, "I was going through security at the airport, and the TSA agent took me in a back room and I got Schnitzerized! It was awful!"

    Kudos to Fisker for not painting their car black, gray, or silver. It is nice to see a little color on a car these days. And now for a freaky picture of somebody else's newborn with a messed up grill. It is also a promo picture. Perhaps baby's last name is also Fisker?

    The proportions are rather ungainly. Who would want a 2-door convertible the size of a Buick LeSabre?

    I think the sedan actually looks more balanced proportionally...the convertible looks kinda stretched out, too long between the wheels. Anyone else seeing that?

    The only problem I see with this car is that Karma means "what goes around comes around" which in turn gets Ratt stuck in my head. That's not good.

    It's looks as though a BMW and a Maserati had a one night stand and this is the out come. Not a bad looking bastard child.

    Sorry, but I have to disagree with you on it not being a bad looking bastard child. Not even a paper bag is going to help that one.


    The one-night-stand analogy was great, though.

    Fisker, you are an automotive design genius on par with Bill Mitchell, Giorgetto Guigario, and Ian Callum.


    So what the hell is the deal with the mouth on this and the Karma?


    You're doing it wrong. Please fix it.
