Looks pretty good. I bet it would be a lot of fun to hear nothing but the wind as you roll down the freeway.

And tire & road noise . . . I hear little engine noise, unless I'm driving my F350 diesel. The EVs will be ghost-quiet only at low speeds.

I'm told that the Roadster is silent from the outside, but there's a definite jet-turbine whine on the inside. It's a positive - Mrs. prowler likens it to flying in "the Millennium Falcon"

Now that's not fair, tire and road noise are the same thing.

Well one thing is for sure, if people aren't buying the Fisker Karma, it won't be because it's ugly looking as some have complained about the Volt. The sedan is pretty spacious, so unless you wanted a car that can pull your boat or carry gravel, space shouldn't be an issue either.

Ok, Prowler, buy a decibel meter and measure the noise inside your Roadster at say 65 mph. j/k
