 Do you know what Fisker's logo stands for? Now you do.« »

Fisker Buzz was at an exclusive Karma preview event on Wednesday in Santa Monica and had the opportunity to interview several Fisker executives and closely examine the Karma.

I thought I'd share this here.

120+ detailed photos of the Fisker Karma and the event itself:
http://fiskerbuzz.com/2009/11/....html

Quote, originally posted by Fisker Buzz »
The Karma’s unveiling began with a speech from Marti Eulberg, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing for Fisker Automotive. She explained the meaning behind the Fisker logo — the orange at the top symbolizes the sun setting into the blue of the Pacific ocean while the two silver stripes represent the two founders of the company. She then moved on to identify all present who had a hand in the car’s development.

Say what you want about the logo - at least the car is incredible.

What's the white dot in the logo?

Does the Karma use the same drivetrain as the Volt or just the same Ecotec engine?

Glare.

It might have to do with their previous offerings riding on bmw platforms (as well as others) but I'm not sure.
