    ...know it was in the plan to thin down the A pillars and I believe it was done, but I can't say that it was a huge change. The back of the wheel covers seemed too square for my personal taste, so if open wheel fenders end up being an option you can count me in! I didn't mind the exhaust...

    The P5: What Would You Change?

    Many of us have talked about the need for led markers on the backs of the wheel covers, but your point about putting them in front too is well taken. Rear view mirrors are mandated by law for both cars and motorcycles, so cameras cannot replace them. Yet.

    The Real P5 ?

    I think the skirts on the front fenders look like an afterthought. They are blocked and squared off. Those need a little refinement, make then look more like the back tire skirt. I AGREE . I THINK THEY SHOULD LOOK MORE LIKE THE WHEEL SPATS ON AN ANTIQUE AIRPLANE . THE SLIPERIER , THE BETTER ...

    I want the cast wishbones as an option -- those stamped suckers look cheap and ugly.

    ...to the same intent. With this classic Ferrari look, wouldn't open wheels and wire rims look perfect? I would still envision that with aerodynamic wheel covers, having a more Ferrari inspired profile. Yea, OK, guess I'm going to have to 3d that to make the idea more conceptually visible. lol.

    ...what the offset should be with wider tires, especially if they want all the extra pushed to a side. But on the Elio, where the front wheel covers could be changed, staying with center-line rims would work best, assuming the P5 is already a center-line set-up. FWD often has extra metal and...

    They're going to want the best tires possible (and preferably production tires) for official testing for ATVM app completion.

    ...tires, that are however, expected to be upgraded to the specially developed tires once some are produced. When that happens the wheel covers will be matched to the tires. Until the new tires show up they will go with what you'll see at the LA show. The tire manufacturer has some criteria...

    Jerome said: "We aren't doing these shows anymore for the reservations. It's all well and good, but in some ways we angle towards flexibility for who the first cars go to. For example we have tons of business interest we'd like to support, but their requirements vary considerably. For some the...

    Jerome said at one point: "Has the A+ program enabled other funding options?> YES, it has, very much so, money attracts money. At some point there will be an IPO, it will also have energized that." Jerome said there will be an IPO. It has been said on this forum, an IPO by EM is impossible...

    I've been doing some thinking about the above and do find it interesting .... it would come as no surprise that EM is selecting components based on price and impact on mileage .... for aftermarket upgrades, tire, rim and wheel cover sizes are of significant .... when they narrow the wheel cover...

    Him I'm back, and at least bit better anyway. I felt good enough today to stop at the mall and say hello. They will be there 2 hours more at this point. Unbelievable but three of them remember me from the other times I've shown up. In fact it was more attention than I'm used to getting from...

    I was thinking the same thing about the monochromatic look, as they say... it's sick! :cool:

    The Real P5 ?

    That narrow cockpit cabin is going to fit the driver like an ironman suit. I prefer the monochromatic look of the color matched body and wheel covers even in the unprimed unpainted P5 photos.

    Function & Cost Of Amt Vs Manual: Interesting...

    interesting .... agree on the sporty look of the P3 fenders .... any difference in look between the manual and AMT won't be visible to anyone but the driver and this driver wants the AMT ....:cool:

    Function & Cost Of Amt Vs Manual: Interesting...

    It's just me but ELIO looks more like a real car/trike with stick/manual shift in it! Again if I'll have to get the P3 wheel covers on mine to make it really "sporty" and then get the AMT, it'll look funny! To me, "sporty" and "manual shift" goes hand and hand and should always be together! But...

    Manual's great until you live in Seattle or SF. Then you get an automatic or hire a mexican immigrant to shift for you -- Manuel Labor

    Could've sworn there was a turret-mounted 50 cal somewhere on the list....might be a different thread.:rolleyes: Seriously, I'd consider a smooth belly pan if it's not factory installed.
