A look at hybrids, clean diesels, and EVs rolling out for 2010
2011 Fisker Karma
When the Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid prototype was first shown at the 2008 Detroit auto show, a lot of skeptics (some of us included) dismissed the sleek sedan as pure vaporware. After all, the specs were absurdly rosy: 125 mph top speed, 100-plus mpg, pure-electric operation. Why not just say it does dishes and feeds your dog while you're at it, Fisker? But the car's development has proceeded nicely, with a prototype making its driving debut at the 2009 Monterey Historics at the Laguna Seca raceway in August. While we haven't yet seen it clean a plate or take care of pets, the demonstration showed that there may be a future yet for this plug-in hybrid sedan.
