What Do We Know About The Elio Chassis?

[RKing]

Noted that myself. I am "kinda long" between the "rear and top", that rear seat was kinda short in the P4. Seems they were takin notes on the tour

Has anyone noticed the reconfigured rear seat and raised roofline seem to have enlarged the rear compartment - in the vertical dimension?

Yup. I don't remember who, but someone posted a "side-by side" of the p4 and the newest version, within the last few weeks. It should definitely provide more head & trunk room.

Looks like they are getting the P4 ready for NY auto show. No mention of installing the new engine. Can't believe they are going in with that tired Geo motor.

Well, if not installed, at least the actual engine on display with a video clip of it running. It was a major benchmark, so I'd think they'd be dying to show it off.

The P4 impressed the reservationists, so the freshly detailed P4 will probably impress the general public attending the NY Auto Show as well.

It's a real limited view, but the supplier cutaway pic makes it look like maybe the fenders have been rounded more?

Here you are. These are renderings created by AriLea of the P4 and the updated design.

With all the discussion of the upcoming International Auto Show, has anyone else noticed that on all Show sites, there is NO mention of EM even being there except for the floor plan??

Or, as she said, what a great improvement a few inches make!

While that is true, the reservationists were planning on seeing the vehicle at the beginning of the year with the new engine and a vehicle delivered. Quite a bit unimpressive for the general public that have seen the prototype and are knowledgeable about the delays but do not follow the progress as we do. Elio had pretty good coverage on Fox& Friends when in N.Y. last year.
