Trendy folks with lots of money and "green" aspirations have been queuing up to buy the Fisker Karma, a hybrid electric car that costs six figures. It's the car Justin Bieber was given by his manager for his 18th birthday. But you might recall (an appropriate word) that the thing has an unfortunate penchant to spontaneously catch fire. And now it's been panned by Consumer Reports for such features as the battery randomly cutting out, horrible ergonomics, cramped space, excessive weight (it's classified as compact due to useable space but manages to be almost as heavy as a Chevy Tahoe) But it's "environmentally sound," so there's that.
