Wow is right! That's a hot looking car, especially for a sedan It took me several seconds to notice 4 doors!

0-60 mph in less than 6 seconds, Top speed beyond 125 mph. Who could resist a car that offers "stealth mode"

Looks like it's only an Automatic though. Great concept, will be interesting to see how it does in the real world.

Going out on a limb and declare this as the best looking coming soon sedan.

I like it better than the Porsche sedan, and maybe the Aston sedan too.

Slow, though. I'd take a Maserati Quattroporte over this, I think, and maybe even an Audi S8 with the big V10 in it. Sexy is nice but if it's about as quick as my S2000, I don't think it's quite worth the money.

Still, kudos for making something different (with hybrid technology, no less).

I'm impressed mostly because Fisker is a relatively small coachworks yet coming out with something as exciting, or more so, than the big OEM's! Why can they hit the styling sweet spot so hard but GM, Ford, and Chrysler still look like blind men throwing darts?

I was watching the NAIAS on NBC yesterday and the host said that it would go 50miles on an overnight charge, but they are planning for a zero emission solar energy version.

50 miles sucks, but I 100% solar would be awesome
