2012 Fisker Karma Ecosport

Dude.....LOOK AT THIS CAR!!!! It's a freaking spaceship!!!!

So maybe it's not a spaceship, but it is a piece of futuristic engineering, with us today! The 2012 Fisker Karma is a plug-in hybrid. That's right; it's a hybrid. This car, the one that looks like Aston Martin and the Energizer bunny fused together through some vehicle-rabbit-fusing technology, and out popped an Easter Egg (bunny, egg, get it?) and from that egg was hatched the Fisker Karma. With an all-electric range of 52 mpg, you can keep going and going and going and going............and going and going, all the while looking snazzy as all heck!

Entering the spaceship-er, vehicle, you are brought back to reality briefly with the alluring two-toned leather interior. The black and beige seats are as luxurious as any normal gas-chugging demon you'll drive around in, without the chugging part (not much chugging anyways). Sitting in the drivers seat of this vehicle is reminiscent of sitting behind the wheel of a Corvette or Viper or some other car that isn't nearly as cool as this baby. All the while you're sitting in there thinking "man, this is a pretty cool interior," you're never thinking to yourself "man, this is a pretty cool interior made with eco-friendly recycled materials." But it's true; salvaged wood and lumber make up the construction, which only adds once again to how cool this vehicle is.

This intricate center console houses a cube-like device with letters on it. That alien looking crystal ball is the shifter. Yeah, spaceship.

Turn on the vehicle, and every instance of the word "spaceship" that I sprinkled throughout this piece jumps off the page like Ryan Gosling in a 3D movie (don't ask me which one) (Blue Valentine). The all-electric, eco-friendly super coolness of the Fisker Karma thrums all around you, and you're ready for takeoff-er, ready to drive.

For those that are apprehensive about the ride quality of an electric car, this thing rides like a gem. With a top speed of 125mph, you can fly past people on the freeway looking like Marty McFly getting ready to head to the 60's. And holding a full tank/charge capacity of about 230 miles, you can keep going and going and going and going........you get the picture.

Come on into LaFontaine Nissan and pick up the car that's not just gonna make your friends jealous; it'll make them drool. Like dogs. Dogs driving around gas-guzzling behemoths. Remember, LaFontaine Nissan is the only dealership you'll ever need to purchase a spaceship.
