| This is my favorite sedan atm. They showed us a 4 door can be sculpted and well proportioned.
What is up with the exhaust? Are there outlets or are they blanked out?
Found this info... are they serious about the speakers?
"With a car that looks as sporty as the Karma, you'd be disappointed if it drove by you and didn't make a sound. But that's exactly what it does. So in the place where rear exhaust diffusers might be, you'll find some small speakers which emit a tone.
An idea that started to get thrown around really quickly at the showing was the possibility to customize the tone. Want to sound like a 67 Vette with a cam? There might be a tone for that. Or how about a Ferrari F430? There might be a tone for that. Or how about a F250 dually? Imagine the ring tone phenomenon with car exhaust tones. I think it would catch on like wildfire. On this pre-production model, the speakers weren't connected, but I was told that it emitted a sound similar to a golf cart when it was being put on the showroom floor.
But if the Karma doesn't have any exhaust pipes, but has a gasoline engine, where does the exhaust go? There's actually a side exhaust on the passenger side right under the fender vent behind the wheel. You wouldn't even notice it unless you were looking for it."
