I can live with the IAV focus. It simply tells me our engine is going to be excellent. Go IAV and Go Elio! :-) Z

Does not have to be state of the art....Just needs to be reliable

Exactly!

Keep it simple!

It's been since 1984 that we bought a new vehicle. We have been very fortunate, as the rule is... never buy the first generation of any new vehicle. But our 1984 Yamaha (1st Generation), is still going and is still the best looking bike on the road.

from what I can tell, Elio seems to be making a strong attempt come out of the gate with a quality of product in which they will not have to make major changes for a good while to come .... in keeping with that goal (if it is their goal) I commend them for making the effort to come up with an engine instead of throwing something together until they can get the engine they want into production

We have been very fortunate, as the rule is... never buy the first generation of any new vehicle.

well understood, we have a very similar rule

Glad everyone doesn't feel that way.

Seems like a boring way to live, but I guess I understand the thinking behind it.

possibly, and I too am glad everyone doesn't feel that way .... after all, someone has to do the real world testing .... when I was younger (OK, a great deal younger) I used to like to try the latest and greatest .... the was specially true for surefire fishing plugs, duck decoys, deer attractants, mileage boosters, vehicle power enhancements and on and on and on .... almost all turned out to be costly mistakes, I still don't understand why JC Whitney's Fire Injector spark plugs did't turn my Buick into a Belch Fire Special (those who have lived a while will understand) .... get burned enough and even I tend to eventually learn something

And yet, by my standards, you are young. Why do I think younger than you? :-) Z
