My Better-Half wasn't keen on the idea of putting money down on a vehicle, unseen with a due date "sometime in the future." So when the Elio was at the Dallas Fairgrounds for Earth Day a few months ago, we went down there just to see it.
When I was filling out the form after she loved it, which I knew she would, I felt this keen since of irony that I will have spent $84 to go buy a car that would of taken me $27 to drive down there in. Such is life, we had a great time anyway.
But while I was there I spoke with a VP (I didn't get his name). I asked him about where the dealerships were. When I brought up the subject of Arkansas, he said he was under the impression that they had made an exception for Little Rock since "It's a state capitol, and not very close to dealerships" I also mentioned that since it's a rural, natural state, that large number of people have long highway commutes, something he said is the primary Elio target.
So, while it's not on the map yet, don't fret; we may end up with a dealership in Little Rock.
The next time the Elio prototype is close, I'll go visit it again and press a bit harder.
