I always wanted a 1000cc triple...
So I bought this:
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...st-test-review I can't believe people aren't screaming from the mountaintops about this engine (well, they aren't in the US, anyway). It's AWESOME. When using the overboost, it feels like a proper, sporty little car. And when going easy on it, the gas mileage is incredible. On my 25mi commute, 70% highway with few stoplights, I averaged 58.5mpg.

I think that elio car is supposed to have a 1,000cc triple. Imagine swapping this into the elio, now THAT would be a fun little car that still gets great gas mileage.
