Yeah, it seems like a great compromise... sure it isn't very fast at all... The speedo only went to 85 in the prototype, however the company claims 100. Someone said 0-60 was 9.6 seconds not sure how reliable the sources are... Not terribly slow though, and I like the idea of only one seat. The mpg is a nice factor too

I would love to have one. I would not buy it new. You know ,four years old 50,000 miles. Needs tires. I would still pay 3500 for it. Maybe remove the rear seat. So my big dog could ride in the back. I wish it had a rear window. No electric for me. I would want an engine.

It appears Elio is going to get a 185 million dollar federal loan!

All smoke and mirrors until they are rolling out the showroom doors. If it ever does get going I'm sure to seriously consider one but it looks like a won't have to worry about for a least two more years. The Facebook comments on their posts are comedy good.

But progress is being made. They have drivable things. And a motor. http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars...io-test-drive/ I'm still watching with curiousity. I think this could be a fun little thing whenever they get around to actually being successful. |

At the very least I do kind of enjoy the comments people leave on their FB page. I seem to recall an overpriced helmet maker promising yet to be seen futuristic features finally going belly up after 2 years of smoke and mirrors all the while collecting large deposits.

I'm on the list to get one, although I only put up $100 to get there. That was at least 2 years ago, I'm still waiting. I'd really like to see Eliot go to production, but not bad enough to put the full $1,000 up front to get a numbered spot in line.

Go f***ing figure, they're going broke! I still think these things would be sick!!! But the company blows and has been giving us nothing but lip service for years. I stopped by their booth at the Detroit Auto Show the last two years and it's been the same dog and pony show and the same physical cars sitting there.
What a joke. I almost feel bad for the people who paid to be in line for a product and now aren't going to get anything for it. If Elio somehow is able to turn it around, I'll gladly still take one for a test drive and I'd love to own one. I doubt I'll ever see that happen. https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/e...3&kwp_1=552682 |
