Let's be real, the sparrow also looked like something out of a Dr Suess movie and was electric. As the Zero Motorcycle thread has blown up about, EV's have some barriers to break before being successful.
This Elio is gas powered, looks like a cross between a can-am and a ford focus, and could be either a hit or a miss. I think it will all come down to how it performs and handles. If it can get out of it's own way with power, handle like a sporty small car, and still offer 500-ish miles to a small tank off gas, it might be a hit. If I could make it a great handling fun vehicle, I'd be just as happy commuting in it as I would be railing some corners and goofing around town with it. it has potential. Unfortunately, they've not yet posted any info on the engine that I can find. :/
