Not sure if I believe that is real? Pretty cool idea though.

Soooo, the money is already spent and 'may' (probably) is gone. Why bail? Let it ride. I am in the same money situation. Yes it is frustrating, but the money is gone, may as well hang and watch the poop show. Not so cheap entertainment!

I would lean more toward Kawi, but either one would do!

I am positive I have no clue if the Elio will get built or not. At this point I am not sure I would buy the one I have reserved if it came available. Have to see at the time I guess.

I doubt I would buy one if there was nothing honored with the current agreements. I am certain the price would go up if nothing else. I am not sure I will pick mine up if it is actually offered at this point! My desire to crawl in and out of small spaces has diminished a lot in the last 5 years...

We bought our Versa after getting inside of the three little cars we were interested in with a tape measure. All three got close to the same milage but the Versa had the most 'usable' space in the back. Usable space is important if it is to be a useful car! One way we justify our big SUV's other...

Another one that looks fun is the Lotus Super 7 or Caterham type cars. I may yet end up with one of them.

I was pretty surprised at the poor milage those get for the size. The 'Diablo', 'Smartuki' or any of the other 150-200 hp motorcycle engine conversions are pretty awesome. There used to be a vid of one on a road race course coming around the last corner and down the straight but I can't seem to...

A big part of towing is where you are towing to. Flat smooth roads are far different than logging roads, which are different from 'unimproved' roads. Another difference is light or ultra light travel trailers or light boats compared to the heavier versions. Windy conditions also make a...

Well, I would give up my Suburban if you show me the spec that shows an Elio can tow my Travel Trailer or boat... The Elio was never designed to be an 'only' vehicle. The funny thing in your analogy is I also have a Nissan Versa! It is the 'go to' commuter/daily driver we bought when Elio was...

Until you said, "Under the seats" I thought you were describing my '70's era bass gig rig! ;)

I really just threw out a few questions with the milage to see what came of it. The posts are interesting to read. I have owned a lot of motorcycles (5 currently) over the years and while I am not sure a comparison to a motorcycle is a good one it really would depend on which motorcycle. I have...

I know what was promised but what milage would you be willing to accept and why? Would less than promised be to get higher power? Get your Elio quicker? Or at all? I would probably be happy if it got 45-50 mpg if it meant I would actually get one. I had a Geo Metro 3 cylinder stick shift I...

"He probably the most qualified person here." Annnd you know that how? Just curious...

No.

I would have to think with Elio's lack of cash and the years since the 'new' engine was being developed the big manufacturer's had plenty of cash and time to develop (and continue to improve) their version of a high milage engine. It would be prudent to make use of it if Elio can. The other side...

I have owned a lot of motorcycles. One recent one was Chinese. It worked well and was of decent quality. I am old enough to remember when Honda came to the US with motorcycles and cars. Most treated it like a joke. Surprise!

You don't like those 'oddball' cars, but you are 'in' for an Elio... Hmmm. I like the VW and the Fiat. Like the smart cars as well, but the 'Diablo' version, not the stock ones. ;) Interesting story, I was part of a group that had input on the 'new' VW's with the promise of being 'first in line'...
