Frankfurt 2011: Dramatic Fisker Surf makes waves

Exactly.It's not that bad but the form suffers for the problem they are trying to solve. And it's not even that well solved.
Yeah, I wonder what they were doing there.Are those jumper cables.
Really?
Well, they should at least be able to S a few...Of course the "S" in USP is a moot point with Fisker.
Agree. The sketch looks more like a proper shooting brake (which would be a two-door).
Yeah, I noticed the button for it here: Fisker Surf Shooting BrakeAnyone else notice that the surf has a sunroof?

Does it have the solar roof option which comes standard on the Karma?
http://www.autoblog.com/2011/09/13/fisker-surf-shooting-brake-wows-frankfurt-show/Whereas the exterior rear roof-mounted solar panel on the Karma is a 120-watt gathering unit, the available panel for the Surf is a 133-watt unit. The sturdy black plastic grille insert is a new look, as are the very sharp new 22-inch standard wheels. Fisker is currently working with an outside supplier to create an easy roof rack system to slide into the standard aluminum roof rails.
That's what it sounds like to me. "Rear roof-mounted solar panel" would only makes sense for the Surf. So Autoblog probably screwed up with the standard blogger miscommunication. I actually read through several blogs and got a lot of conflicting information. The best I could find was this which appears to be directly from a Fisker press release: http://car-gallery.info/blog/car-press-release/fisker-surf-at-2011-frankfurt-iaa/Does that mean if it's in the rear portion of the roof of the Surf you can have both a sunroof and the solar roof?
The unique solar roof panel that is a Fisker signature has been integrated into the Fisker Surf, with a few twists. The optional solar panel not only captures sunlight to power the car, it is actually see-through, with a dark-tint translucence that adds to the sense of openness inside the car, specifically in the rear seats. Standard is a tinted-glass panoramic roof panel that tilts open at the back for added ventilation.
