- Fisker has released a teaser shot of the Surf ahead of its Frankfurt auto show debut.

- If headed for production, the Surf could poach on the turf staked out recently by the Ferrari FF.
ANAHEIM, California — If you were a hip, California-based company aiming a new shooting brake at the premium turf staked out recently by the Ferrari FF, what would you call it?
The Fisker Surf appears to be just that animal — a wagon-like derivative of the Karma premium hybrid sedan, to be fully revealed next week at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show.
Fisker released a teaser shot of the Surf on its Facebook page and Flickr site ahead of the car's Frankfurt auto show debut and confirmed that it will be an extended-range electric vehicle — in other words, a gasoline-electric hybrid — and a "stablemate" of the Karma, but no other details.
A brief statement issued by the company said, "The Fisker Surf delivers a bold new twist and is sure to 'wow' global audiences with its combination of uncompromised responsible luxury and head-turning design."

man, I am with you. Chevy BelAir. Cadillac Fleetwood. Alfa Romeo Spider. Lotus Esprit.
Names are just so much cooler, when done right.

Shouldn't Fiskar focus on selling an actual vehicle befor wasting time and money on another concept?

I'm just glad he's using car names instead of the alpha numeric nonsense every luxury makes thinks they have to use.
