    Fisker Learns To Surf In Paris

    William Maley

    Editor/Reporter - CheersandGears.com

    March 1, 2012

    The Fisker Karma sports some sleek lines and daring proportions for an plug-in hybrid vehicle. The one it doesn’t sport is space. One only needs to see the Karma’s trunk to realize how much of a priority the design took over the space.

    However, at last year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, Fisker showed off the Surf concept. The Surf takes a regular Karma and extends its roofline with a hatchback/wagon/shooting brake body style to give it more space.

    Word has it that Fisker has green lit the Surf for production and will be shown at the Paris Motor Show in September.

    Interesting, another car for the uber rich to ride around in and think better of themselves. Glad some one has the money to get the technology down to common peoples price budget.

    Ove all this looks like an Electric Future Station Wagon. Not a fan myself of the styling.

    I've seen three Karmas on the streets so far, and each time I've been blown away by its presence and style. It's a very breathtaking design that stands out in a sea of midsize family sedans and crossovers.

    Intrepidation

    Not a big fan of the Surf, I hope the Karma S gets put into production though.

    As for space in the sedan, I'm perfectly ok with function taking a back seat to form. It almost never happens anymore with cars being all about interior volume and practicality.

      Mazda News: The Mazda CX-5 Grows for 2026

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      This is interesting, makes sense what Mazda response is for why the Turbo will not be brought back. Hybrid will be equal to or better than the Turbo which has been proven by Toyota with their Rav4 Hybrid which is their fastest auto now in the portfolio. This Is Why Mazda Won't Bring Back The CX-5 Turbo Sadly just far more complexity than needed.

      Or my friend, like me, you will have to spend that money on your kids education! That is why my conversion of my 1994 GMC Suburban never happened and I eventually sold it as I am past the project phase and now into the Grandkids phase. Good luck, the future is going to be an interesting mixture I think over the next two decades. @A Horse With No Name @ccap41 Mazda might have a card that you both will like. The CEO is quoted in this story that they are assessing the return of the Mazda midsize pickup. 2025 Mazda B-Series Unofficially Comes Back to Life to Make America Proud, Again - autoevolution

      You and I both, brother. I just love that class of vehicle. They're sporty, fun, practical, and not (typically) all that expensive to own/operate. They're just all around great vehicles.  I'd like to say that one day I'll own a Focus RS, too. But, I know damn well I likely won't buy one. By the time I'm in a position to buy an extra car or I no longer need the extra space for a family of 4, I'd be getting something with 2 doors and a V8 anyway.

      I really have a sot spot for hot hatches. In another life, I would have bought a Focus RS.  This is sad. Maverick is on my short list, want to see how this is resolved.

      That just sucks in so many ways and is another reason that I would not buy from them. Like GM which has choosen to go against customer choice, I have left another American Company for one that supports choice.  I hope Lincoln wakes up to the fact that unplugging a feature is not a fix. Long term it will cost them imho. Thank you for the update on this.
