http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/02/fisker-automotive-logo.jpg (http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080208/ANA02/186559533/1115/rss02&rssfeed=rss02)Of all the auto shows and random events we attend throughout the year, it never dawned on us to book a ticket to San Francisco to scope out the J.D. Power Roundtable meeting. Too bad considering that Henrik Fisker showed off a "top secret" photo of the bespoke automaker's next project.
According to Automotive News, Fisker flashed a picture of the concept on stage and said that it would use the same lithium-ion plug-in hybrid drivetrain as the Karma sedan. Fisker went on to say that the four-seater convertible would go on sale around the same time as the Karma sedan, sometime in late 2009. A spokesman said that it's expected to be unveiled sometime this fall.
Unfortunately, Fisker wouldn't provide us with an image of the 2+2 cabrio, but if you happen to have a subscription to Automotive News (http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080208/ANA02/186559533/1115/rss02&rssfeed=rss02), you can see a shot of the two-door convertible with plenty of styling cues pulled from the Karma, including the flared fenders, elongated hood and patented Fisker haunches.
