Thinking image equals substance is the designer’s fallacy. Even if the car is capable of performance, the promised Karma was supposed to include range/energy savings that the designers apparently did not provide.

“Promise Little, Deliver Much” is a far better motto than Promise much, but deliver only a lovely image. I am sad.

Great looking car though.

Except for the “Time to wake up” line, it appears to state the facts of the EPA ratings along with a straight forward comparison to the Volt. Would you prefer that they hid these facts and instead gushed about the car just because it fulfills someone’s faux green fantasy?

This car which is better than all 3 should sell around that #.

When it runs on motor, it should consume Electricity and not Gas.

Fox News is owned by Oil companies and thats why they are mocking at this car. This car will be much better than Benz & BMW high end segments. Dont compare it with Leaf or Volt.
