I believe ELIO is not required to meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards since it is a 3 wheel vehicle but are the plans to design it to meet these Federal standards or some other safety standard?

Narrow three wheeler would be a more accurate description.I remember the overlay of the Elio profile against a 2nd generation Insight (very close in length and shape)
length a pic parked between sedans (very close)road clearance/ seat height- matching many cars in production, width, well, it depends where you measure !!- :-)
Just bad press when they refer to it as "the tiny three wheeler" --tiny fits for the trunk!!
My understanding is that it is being designed to meet the same standards as any other new car sold in America even though it is not required to meet those standards.
