Fisker knows the business model is failing and wants to get out before the collapse.

when i went to the dealership to test drive the Karma, while it was parked, i thought its the hottest 4 door ever.. nicer than a maserati quattroporte, and even the aston martin rapide..

once i drove it, i was truly disappointed that the car was total trash. if the karma was around 70-80k and was just a regular car with a 400hp gas guzzling v8 competing with a Mercedes E550 OR BMW 550 this company would have done much better.
no one wants an unreliable 100k car.
