2009 Fisker Karma 
Background: Fisker Automotive is set to unveil its first production automobile, a plug-in hybrid sedan that will get 100 mpg, at the Detroit Auto Show in January. Started in 2005, the company has produced two other vehicles, both of which were merely re-skinned existing automobiles.

Performance: Not much is known about the actual performance its newest hybrid will be able to muster. However, the one number we have heard is impressive; 100 miles to the gallon is an incredible figure. The Fisker auto uses a centrally-placed battery that will last up to 50 miles on a single charge. Unlike other electric cars, the Fisker hybrid does have a gasoline or optional diesel engine that recharges the battery and helps extend its range to a whopping 620 miles!

Exterior: Hybrids on the market today haven’t been known for their thrilling looks. This is not the case with the Fisker auto, whose exterior looks remarkably similar to the sexy Ferrari 599 GTB except with four doors.

Market Impact: With a cross between stellar good looks and outstanding gas mileage, the newest offering from Fisker Automotive is set to be an amazing new automobile. With approximately 15,000 units set to be built the car shouldn’t be that hard to come by either. We will have to wait to hear more before we can give a final verdict.
