Fisker is simply an enhanced Chevy Volt, not as comfortable or utilitarian as the Volt, with less than stellar performance as a sports car - to some it looks good, kinda on the level of a cobra kit car with a VW engine - the Chinese like small wonders - wondering why?

Last week Bloomberg reported that Dongfeng bid $350 million for an 85% stake in Fisker, which would value the 15% that legacy holders bought for $1.2 billion at about $62 million.

If I was fisker, I would take those bids ASAP.

The value of Fisker is in its design, not in its IP.

The Fisker is much like the Volt/Cadillac PHEV in terms of technology and the Atlantic is supposed to be a competitor to high end greeb cars, but it will be late to the game and the competitors will already be established.

I see Fisker following the same track as Coda, comes in too late to the game and does not offer anything above the competition. That's economics 101

The Chinese have been failing despite significant efforts, government promotion and government subsidies at producing anything worthwhile in the EV space. It makes sense for them to buy Fisker.
