Henrik Fisker Teams Up With Hong Kong Billionaire To Buy His Car Company Back

Henrik Fisker is working with an investor group to salvage Fisker Automotive, the "green" car company he co-founded nearly six years ago that is now struggling to stave off bankruptcy, people familiar with the matter said this week.

The discussions follow Henrik Fisker's resignation from the company in March after finding himself increasingly at odds with other top executives over strategy.

The well-regarded car designer is now teamed up with an investor group led by Hong Kong billionaire and Fisker investor Richard Li. The group is looking to buy the U.S. Department of Energy's loan to Fisker without making the car company resort to bankruptcy.

this car can survive and sell like hot cakes if they drop the garbage hybrid/ electric nonsense which is hardly effective. they need to keep the body/ looks the way it is.
use a regular gas or diesel engine from bmw charge 75-80k per car. basically compete with the 5/6 series or e class.
