My coffee is down from 16oz to 14oz, as is my breakfast cereal, and practically everything else on the grocer's shelves - but the package size remains the same - the difference is only apparent when you look inside the container. "Contents may have settled after packing" . . . baloney. But the food industry gets it both ways - reduced content AND higher prices. And they thought we'd never notice.

We are consistently getting less for our bucks. To date, the Elio is one hold-out, promising the same product at the same price for years, despite inflation. By the time the first sold vehicles roll off the line, I fully expect them to be a bit more than $6,800 . . . that's just the way things are, you have to expect inflation. You just know somebody's going to scream bloody murder when the selling price passes $7K (I'd rather see that instead of de-contenting the vehicle). Time to man up and recognize the dollar ain't what it used to be in 2008. You can only stretch a budget target so far.
So... It'll also be smaller by the time they produce it? :rolleyes:

Paul Elio will be more concerned with a selling price above $6800 than I will . From what I can see and read , the Elio is a rare value in commuter vehicles . Benchmarked against a traditional auto , it comes in at nearly 25% of the average sticker. Nearly a 1/3rd of other 3 wheelers .
With ALL the conveniences of a full featured compact coupe , anything near $8000 is a slam dunk .

RU - Did you know that 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 ?

[Don't lie...I know you're pulling up the calculator function on your computer :cool:]

It's now about 2 weeks that I and a select few have had nothing whatsoever to share about our goal! I omit responses to trolls-
If the CIA data can be breached, is there, amongst us someone who could do it to EM? Some seem happy scanning the pictures of the engine with more concentration than an oncologist looking at x-rays!!
My meds ain't holding -I've lowered myself to images and inane responses.

Did you know, why apples float in water ?? 25% of their volume is air,!!
Bigger brakes
