I might be convinced to go hybrid ( they're suggesting only $ 80k msrp for this )

tried to upload a different photo, but the "size was larger than available space" ( sheesh, I've heard that all my life... <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> )

Dan,



Yep, I like the styling of the Fisker better than my Prius, but I will have to think about that extra 50 Grand <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/dry.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> - lol! Hey, for another 20 K you can have a Tesla! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

I like the front half of the car and the style of the rear but the side just Looks too long and the rear wheels look too far back. Concepts seem to shoot for the ooh factor and are rarely as dramatic when they go into production. The final product will look far less interesting but I bet they push the wheels fwd.

are you familiar with the rest of the products spyker sells? This isn't toyota or ford we're talking about.

I was under the impression they use mostly Mercedes Benz S series platforms, but not sure.. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/blink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/huh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> .

Nice looking car, but I'm still not a big fan of the oversized "wagon-wheels"... <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/rolleyes.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

i think it has too much of everything

point taken. I only know of the C8.



But my statement holds true with high end auto makers as well.
