But I want all the details in the first post, the first post is the mostest important one, it's where all the information and detail about the car should go, can't you comprehend it?
Of course I could just ask you now to delete the contents of your OP (minus the videos) and put the followin' in it:

[quote="Ciprian Florea"]Karma Automotive, previously known as Fisker Automotive, unveiled the preliminary details about the Revero, essentially an updated version of the hybrid sedan that Fisker built between 2011 to 2012. The exact details for the four-door are still under wraps for the most part, but the California-based company release a few pictures of the car, as well as a bit of information about the drivetrain.
But, before we dive into that, let’s have a quick look at the history of this hybrid sedan that is about to return to the market after nearly four years.
Launched as the Karma in 2011, it was built by Fisker Automotive and designed by the company’s founder, Henrik Fisker, the same man who penned the BMW Z8 and the Aston Martin DB9. Power was provided by two electric motors, while a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder acted as a range extender.
Production was suspended in November 2012 due to financial difficulties after sales of around 1,800 units in North America and Europe. Fisker Automotive filed for bankruptcy in November 2013, after the United States Department of Energy auctioned its debt and sold it to Hybrid Technology LLC for US$25 million. Later on, Fisker’s assets were sold to Chinese company Wanxiang, which announced plans to relaunch the Karma back in April 2015.
Meanwhile, the Fisker Karma was used as a starting point for the Destino, a V-8-powered sedan built by VLF Automotive. The company was founded by Bob Lutz and Gilbert Villarreal as VL Automotive and renamed when Henrik Fisker himself joined the automaker.
The new Karma Revero is set to be unveiled on September 8, 2016, and sold for the 2017 model year. The company says that existing Fisker Karma Fisker Karma owners will gain exclusive access to a website that gives them the ability to reserve a Revero before the general public.
[b]Exterior[/b]
Styling-wise, the Revero is pretty much identical to the Fisker Karma. This isn’t surprising though, and definitely not a bad thing. Fisker Fisker ’s design was not only revolutionary for its era, but also stunning to look at. Often labeled as one of the most beautiful modern automotive designs, the Karma lives on almost unchanged. It’s probably the main reason why Wanxiang made so many efforts to relaunch the car.
But while the body panels and construction remained the same, certain new features can be spotted upon closer inspection. First, the front grille dropped the vertical slats in favor of a honeycomb mesh. Second, the Fisker logos were replaced with new emblems featuring bright blue and yellow colors in a chrome ring. The badges are hand-painted and Karma claims that "no other car company has ever done this."
The Revero also retains the Karma’s solar roof, which has been upgraded for increased efficiency. More on that in the drivetrain section below.
[b]Interior[/b]
Karma had nothing to say about the car’s interior, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that the cabin carries over unchanged. Not that it would be a bad thing, but I’m thinking Karma Karma will at least offer a few new upholstery options. The overall design of the original car was pretty simple, yet modern, blending fine leather with subtle aluminum and chrome inserts, and even wood trim atop the center console and in the door panels. The sedan’s two-tone upholstery was especially attractive and hopefully Karma will continue to offer that.
One important change was made in the technology department, in the form of a new infotainment system. Karma didn’t have much to say about it, but mentioned that the new system "represents a departure from the norm. It is simple, intuitive, and beautiful. If you like a 200 page supplement to the owner’s manual to describe your infotainment system, look elsewhere." It doesn’t sound bad at all.
[b]Drivetrain[/b]
Based on the specs Karma has released so far, not much has changed in the drivetrain department. The company quotes a 20 mpg rating when using the gasoline engine, 52 mpge economy overall, a 5.5-second 0-to-60-mph sprint, and a 125-mph top speed, meaning it’s powered by the same twin-electric motor and 2.0-liter Ecotec engine sourced from General Motors. However, Karma says the Revero will have a 50-mile range in electric mode, which is an 18-mile improvement over the Fisker Karma Fisker Karma . This could mean new battery technology, but it could also have something to with the upgraded solar roof. The company also claims that the solar roof "will create enough energy to power the car," but further information is not yet available.[/quote]
But I would have to do this every freakin' time new info about the car surges, and that's boring.
At least thank you for puttin' the year in the title.
