Is the Fisker Karma the automotive equivalent of Gran Turismo 5->ke3689?

Sure looks like it after the plug-in luxury sports car's production date has been set back once again, this time until July. We've heard this sordid tale of run-around after run-around before and it can get pretty exhausting, especially when you consider that the Karma's release date was supposed to happen over a year ago.

According to GreenCarReports, Roger Ormisher, director of global communications for Fisker->ke1074 Automotive, was quoted saying that the "first dealer and customer cars will arrive on these shores in July." So that pretty much rules out the earlier dates of May and June, as was previously announced by the company.

It's disappointing, make no mistake about it. But considering that the company is still in its infancy, a little latitude should be exercised, if only to give these guys time to get their acts together. Then again, it probably isn't a good business idea to keep delaying the product's release date when you already raised it's price before the car even hit the market.

This isn't GT5, which you can just plop down 60 bucks to take home with you. $95,000 is a lot of money for people to part with and continuing to delay the release of the car could turn a lot of people off.
