Fisker Hybrid


At least three strong points come with this notice that Fisker will build hybrids in Delaware.

- creates jobs, potentially hiring laid off auto workers
- establishing more hybrid car production in the USA
- its good for the environment

Yahoo: Fisker to build hybrid cars at idled Del. GM plant
The vehicles to be built in Delaware under Fisker's Project NINA will cost about $40,000 after federal tax credits. They will be able to run mainly on electricity for short trips and a combination of electricity and gasoline for longer ones.

40K after credits? We need an electric everyman car not another Yuppie show off vehicle to join the Prius.

Yeah its too pricey. At some point people will figure this out. Get a cheaper decent hybrid out there and it will score.
