Fisker has a problem....

[LBJefferies]

Why is this in the politics and religion subforum?

Since it's Joshh, the reasoning probably goes something like this. Fisker makes hybrid cars, GM makes hybrid cars, GM was bailed out by the government, therefore Obama!

Once you get to know Joshh, you start to understand him a little better. Kind of like how you understand why the little baby is crying, or the chimp is throwing poop at you, even if it is a completely unreasonable response on their part.

Or progression in hybrid/electric is acceptance of climate issues as they're a potential solution, and that's just ridiculous. Hah! In your face science.

or maybe that the admin gave money to fisker as a "green company", then bragged about it creating jobs, only later to find out the jobs are outside the USA

The place where I visited and people were working on the car was in the USA...

But maybe the internet article you read disproves what I saw with my own two eyes in person.

I've seen one in real life, right out side my office for a upperend car promotion. It was not cool at all. I went and got my M3 parked it by there and more people where asking questions about that. Then when you rev the M to 8k it made everyone smile while the fisker sits there silent.

So the only thing that makes a car cool is the volume of it's exhaust? lol

Gm bailouts created vehicles which use Chinese made electronics, Obama's workin for the enemy.

GM makes a lot of cars and sells them in China, so = enemy.

Jeep thinking about making cars there for Chinese market = enemy.

Romney telling lies about production moving from one of the most efficient auto plants in the country = standard.

It's the only section joshh knows how to post in.

Romney telling lies about production moving from one of the most efficient auto plants in the country = standard.

Romney eats at a Chinese restaurant = frenemy.

Are you claiming that Internet research supersedes practical experience?? Maybe if you were actually familiar with the industry then you would know not all jobs related to automobiles are directly involved in just final assembly.


According to your lack of intelligence on the subject, one would claim all jobs related to the 1st gen X3 must have been Austrian since Magna Steyr contract built it in Graz.

Fisker-schmisker. If I had to buy one of these new 'green' cars' I'd probably go for the Tesla Sedan. Better looking IMHO. Not to mention I wouldn't want to be in the same car club as the Bieber.

Also note that the article he posted is over a year old...

Yes, the first Fisker cars were built in Finland because it simply wasn't possible to build one here. The manufacturing capabilities did not exist (pretty fucking sad actually). BUT once Fisker was able to find a plant capable of manufacturing the cars in the US, that's exactly what they did.

seriously gwb, you should at least proofread your articles before posting them

The fiskers that burned down in the port were being imported from Finland. US production never got off the ground and chances are it never will. The right wing nut jobs in Congress made sure of that.
