It's nice to see that this thing is still "on track" from all outward appearances.

But with the way things have worked out for Tesla, I'm not sure how optimistic I am about Fisker...

...still, the 2.0 turbo ecotec is a good choice, as is GM HVAC... I wonder if he really needs the Finns who make the Cayman/Boxster to build it... I'm sure there's an idled GM plant that could to the job...

I have to wonder why GM hasn't put something like this together for Cadillac...

Its too bad GM isn't in a position to just buy Tesla and Cadillac-ize the Roadster to be the new XLR.

Pipe dream, I know.

This company seems to have more integration and collaboration than Tesla had so that may help this one a bit more. But again in this economy and $2 gas that $80K pricetag looms large.
