Their cars are gorgeous!

The production Karma


And the concept Sunset

2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

I love it. Not too sure of the grille though..........It's like a really cute girl with really bad teeth.

The grille is hideous.  That ruins the car for me.

Aside from the silly looking scoops on the sunset, the body is just gorgeous.

While everything Fisker designs is stunning, they all also look very similar (a mixture of BMW Z8 and Aston Vantage/DB9).

Henrik Fisker designed those cars.  I think you know that, though.

Exactly my point.  You can always tell a car he designed because they all share the same traits.  Granted, he was following Ian Callum's lead to some degree on his designs for Aston (Callum started the DB9 and Fisker completed it).

They had pictures of the Fisker Karma all over LAX in extremely high resolution. It really is a stunning car.

why is it that dead sexy cars need to cost so much money?  From an economic standpoint, I'd wager that bending sheetmetal into a nice looking shape costs about as much as bending sheetmetal into a fugly shape...

Supply and demand.  Form vs Function.  something that looks good are typically not very functional or do not utilize space well or are not good for utility.  Therefore, something good looking cannot be mass marketed for public consumption.

Yes and no. Complex, deep draw panels with more curves will require much more expensinve dies in a bigger presses.

But, you could still make a very ugly car with lots of curves too.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?
