Everywhere but Indiana.....come on Elio - the Hoosier State needs to see you here. Perhaps Purdue University?

Yes, displaying at a Professional Auto Show, like the New York Auto Show should get them major exposure (and hopefully capable investors), but it also exposes them to the critical automotive media, that may not look too kindly on a not fully functional, P4 'mule' with a 20 year old power plant, no standard radio, heater, AC, airbags, ABS, VSC, or even an operational trunk lock. Major Auto Show goers usually expect to see near-production ready Prototypes... even if they are never produced. It is a Big Step for Elio Motors, and a bit of a gamble.... lets hope it works out. Awaiting the 'Press Reviews'.

Most prototypes are non-functional concepts and just there to gauge consumer interest in the design and advertised features (also, non-functional). Most don't even have a drivetrain and are made of cardboard, clay and fiberglass. If, by chance, the prototype is drivable, you can bet they haven't wasted precious engineering dollars on the prototype to allow it to safely haul-a$$ around a road course...Again, it's only purpose is to gauge interest.

There you go again. Trying to get attention for yourself. You must have been a neglected child.

Why are you still trying be rational with folks who can't? and for those that keep baiting- cut 'em loose!

BUT if they get to Indiana ( is it anywhere Idaho?) it'll play well!- I kid, I know it's near Kansas.

I love a challenge.

...plus "rationality" is in the eye of the beholder. They're either complete jerks, and are intentionally trying to start shi...umm, something, or they truly believe their statements, their 'rationale', that just happens to be counter to other peoples views. They can't p*ss me off, unless I allow it (there's a group of people that can, but none of them are in it).

Looking forward to the reviews from the auto show.
