I swear this car/brand never dies. Every time I think its gone they change the name and come out with a new model of the same old car from 2012.

It's certainly better looking than anything Tesla produces IMHO, I kind of like the lines. I'm not sure why but there is something about EV's that they almost all look alike to me. This one has a slightly different vibe. KARMA is a Bitch.

Far prettier, not Taycan/ETron pretty, but far prettier than any Tesla, at least it doesn't look like an used soap bar or manju, nor a completely overpowering screen right in the middle. I do miss that wild steering wheel in the older one though

I bet they could make a pretty sexy 2 door coupe. That might actually sway some of the sports car crowd over to EV's.

Maybe in the US, but in China they've got close to a million cars sold last year.

The older one's steering wheel and upholstery pattern are much more exciting.

Dodge Viper and Maserati had a kid....
I don’t hate it, though the proportions look a bit funky to me. The wheelbase looks nuts. |

The crazy thing is, it's actually stood the test of time pretty well. Every time it resurfaces, you see comments from folks thinking it's a new vehicle with a new design. Karma has flown mostly under the radar for a few years, but they might actually get more recognition now that they are finally set to build a BEV model. Ironically, that car, the GS-6e, will actually be cheaper than the GS-6 (without the "e) PHEV that is topic of this thread by a few thousand dollars. But either one will be far cheaper than the original Revero GT - to the tune of about $50k less. Apparently they intend to do a four motor 1000hp all electric redux of the GT model at some point too. |
