At least you have a pic though.... I didn't even have a phone on me, so no photo at all.
I suspect it's the car featured in the new edition of Car and Driver though.... there can't be that many Karamas here surely!

I think we have imported about 15 so far, 5 or so are registered as demo cars so should spot the odd one about! They do stand out alot in amongst the drab typical traffic.

What are they like?
I was amazed they run on 22 inch rims yet don't seem ungainly, in fact I was really impressed with the car, though there's a touch of BMW about the front end I think.

What do they cost here?

Its called a Fisker but is an electric vehicle in a nutshell. Does have a petrol motor up front but that never drives the wheels just re-charges the batteries so its always powered by the electric.

Yes the 22' rims are quite a size and surprising they fit under it without looking silly!

But good guess the guy who owns the company and designs the cars did design the Z8 and also worked at Aston for some time, hint of the rapide from the back end I think.

Didn't Fisker produce a model based on a 6 series- the Latigo?

Your right but I cant confirm the name, they did a 6 series (which looked extremely odd) and im sure they did a Merc SL aswell, again no idea of the name but looked just as weird.

I think there was a fair amount of tongue in cheek in that post.

He means some random POS car that you'll never normally see here eg a mk1 Mondeo, a Rover 600, a Corsa etc.

Supercars are so passe hehe
