A Message To The Elio Team

Glad I'm wearin 'Depends' just p****ed myself ))

You'r brave!

I just came back from all the other sites.
In the past, when the "Big Three", and all the others, made announcements of model starts, or
changes, I don't ever remember the public making so many demands, like they were
a part of the "Creation" of the product. That's why I've changed my signature.

I like the gauges. The mock-up is obviously just a representation of what it could look like, but I like the idea. It is unique. Seems easy enough to read to me.
Then again, I'm a watch guy. I like watches, I like the gauges.

As far as being a safety concern, why would that be? My wifes Honda CRZ has a digital readout for MPH. There is no 'positional reference' for that either, but it has no adverse safety effects as far as I can tell any time I've driven it.

I just posted a message on the Elio web site, I'd be interested in seeing if I receive a reply.....
This was the message:
""A message to the E Team and Mr. Elio....Do you all read these posts and the posts at other web sites ??. I think NOT....because if you all did you would find that the so-called Elgin dash board is NOT well liked. If anything it is a safety factor and I'm sure once the car/motorcycle mag's review the vehicle you all will be put down for creating a beautiful machine and then screwing it up with a gosh awful dashboard. If the vehicle must have this Elgin dash then make it an option for the very few that MAY want it and leave the set-up that the P4 has. I'm sure those who have made a reservation ( all-in ) should have have a say in this matter and their opinion should be considered, after all they are the ones who are pushing this vehicle not the E team
A disgrunted ( all-in 1K supporter ) ""

If it actually comes with the Elgin dash I'm just gonna tell everyone that It's the latest thing. My friends won't know the differance. LOL

Sorry, but I don't think he gives a sh!t. It's his vehicle design, not yours. If you want to design a vehicle - do it. Reach for the stars.
How is the Elgin dash different from the early Toronado dashes? Yes, yes, rotated 90* but the same idea. Didn't see people gettin' killed left 'n' right in those because the speedo didn't have a needle.
My guess is it'll still end up being an option. An option I'll likely opt for. If it's coded for the Elgin face, it can be reprogrammed into anything I choose.

Ah yes. I forgot about the Toronado's rotary display. Pretty cool if you ask me.

You'r brave!

When it comes to dashes I prefer analog gauges, even though I have a '12 Civic. I was saving up to buy
a restored MGA until I came across the Elio & got swept away....................

O.K. now we are going back a while...

 

[Ty]

Do they still make the Toronado? No? I wonder if it was because of that speedometer? LOL

Now Henry would have liked that! )
