.FiskerInc's comeback car is a stylish and spacious crossover, but its driving dynamics need a bit more fine-tuning.
, a pretty yet overhyped and underdeveloped full-size plug-in-hybrid sedan, hit the wall. As a result, Fisker Automotive filed for bankruptcy in 2013.

Only 20 months later, deliveries just started with the limited-edition One priced at $71,437.Fisker is a truly gifted car designer, and the Ocean once again shows his talent.

If two days of spirited motoring on Austrian two-lane roads are anything to go by, this claim is reasonably realistic.
True to its name, the Ocean can be anything from a smooth swell to a veritable whitecapped storm. We did not spend much time in Earth mode, which promises to take you to the moon and back on a single charge but has a tranquilizer effect on the drivetrain and is clearly more interested in regenerating energy than spending it.

The steering is, however, a little light and not quite as quick as expected, and the wide turning circle needs to tighten its belt one notch.
