bmwblog and UK car dealer agree April 11, 2009

BMWBLOG has been reporting from the New York Auto Show. Of course, with a focus on BMWs.

But the guys there also took time to sniff around the other exhibitors – and came up with a ‘cars to watch’ list.

fisker_karma_bmwblog1What struck me right away? The first car on the list – the Fisker Karma. A green petrol-electric combo, and set to be the world’s first high-end eco-supercar.

Why my interest? Because I spoke with a dealer of high-end cars in the UK last week, who said something very similar. Of all the forthcoming ‘green’ supercars, he reckons the Fisker is the most viable.

It’s got the looks, the performance and the prestige to both justify a high price tag and to stir customer demand. He’s thus watching it – because he knows his customers will be.

Two insider heads-up for the new Fisker, then. Guess we’d thus better be watching it…
