Test Drive: 2012 Fisker Karma
In his Danish-tinged English, Henrick Fisker was thinking big as he cut into his steak “America needs a true premium car to compete with Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Cadillac hasn’t done it. And that car must be environmentally responsible, too — and it should come from California”. His glance around the dinner table was greeted with approving nods.
His knife continued its cutting.
Though wary of that knife, I had to ask anyway “So explain to me why that’s you and not Tesla?” (Fisker and Tesla have already tussled in court). Then I slightly cringed.
