[singlepic id=3276 w=720 h=540 float=center] While cruising the foreclosed sprawl that is Metro Las Vegas, the last thing one expects to see is a Fisker dealership.  But there it is; and it’s not a mirage. In the rarefied circus of super-sedans, the gasoline-electric Karma is the standout visually.  The Panamera is too bulbous.  The Rapide is too derivative.  The Lamborghini Estoque is too…not a production car.  The images of the Karma online and in print readily make its boldness and beauty apparent.  But incredibly, it looks even better in person. It all comes down to the exaggerated dimensions, which just do not translate well in 2D.  The apex of the passenger compartment is just a few inches above a standing six footer’s belly button.  The hood is long and sleek, sort of a mix between an E-Type Jag (in proportions) and Gundam/Robotech (in detail).  And speaking of Jags, the cosmopolitan Fisker makes the XJ parked next to it look positively compact and pedestrian.  The 22 inch rims wearing 255/35-profile rubber complete the aggressive, wide stance.
