Every time Bo says
       Fisker Karma
I think he comes close to saying
       Fiska Karmar
Next, get him to say
       Dora The Explorer
and see how he does.

To see the short Car and Driver video of the Fisker: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/hot_lists/car_shopping/latest_news_reviews/2010_fisker_karma_video

You think maybe they were trying to camoflauge it with that paint job?

The Sinclair C5 a failure for 12,000 units sold?  I think you had it right- expectations.  Look at the Segway- it too has been considered a failure, and they have sold around 30,000 units over the last 6-7 years.  You can see the ancient TV comercial at:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDKw5I-RwUY

And, in case you would like to see the Video along with the audio, the AC Propulsion ad with Tom Hanks is at:  http://airamerica.com/blog/2008/dec/15/video-tom-hanks-talking-electric-cars-currenttv

About the Sinclair C5: Remember no matter how much units you sell, it won't be a success if you can't get enough money to keep the company afloat after paying back all the investors, expenses and taxes. Simple financial facts.
