Why are you sorry it is a "Chinese" group? Would a German or Italian or French group make you happier? Sorry for the gripe, but I don't understand why so many are so fearful of Chinese investment.Sorry to see that it is a Chinese group, but even so, it would be nice to see Fisker continue in some form. Having Lutz on board gives it some cover. I like the fact that he usually just says what he thinks instead of what the team mantra is supposed to be.
Don't forget the atrocious quality of the "products" that they produce. I've lost count of the number of "made in china" stamped products that I've bought, that have made it exactly one day past the warranty before dying.I think people don't like Chinese investment because they resent both its currency/trade practices and its rampant theft of IP.
They aren't "saving" Fisker, they are dismantling it.Capitalism works because you can build a business and make money using money from other investors, without worrying where that investment money comes from. If Chinese money can save Fisker then it can be successful since I don't see any Americans putting money in.
You seriously don't understand? Yikes... As it's already been touched on, the Chinese don't play by the rules. They go out of their way to steal IP, and their currency manipulation is dangerous over the long term.Why are you sorry it is a "Chinese" group?

I used to agree with you and completely understand where you are coming from but something to think about -Don't forget the atrocious quality of the "products" that they produce.

I think he wasn't directly responsible, but he hired the people that did run it into the ground.Fisker may be saved.....by Fisker?

He IS the one that ran the company into the ground originally, no?
