considering that its Thursday, it appears unlikely that new reservation numbers will be released this week .... there is nothing new about going a couple of weeks between the release of reservation numbers .... what I do find interesting is no information is given on the website about the tour schedule ??

Might be as simple as the person/people that usually update the website are not available for the past few days, for either the reservations or the tour events coming up. Hopefully we'll see future events start to be posted there in the coming days.

absolutely, that is probably the case .... I don't recall a time (other than holidays) when the tour schedule has been blank .... general locations are customarily posted way in advance while specific addresses may not be given until a few days in advance

I think that the New York auto show didn't bring in the reservations compared to costs. I think that they are rethinking their marketing plan. It would be better to do lots of shows in smaller markets. From looking at the members addresses of this forum, I don't think that New York, Chicago and Toronto will be good markets. I will not be importing Elios into Canada. If someone is interested ebay motors will give you all the information. It is easy, newspapers give out horror stories to protect their biggest advertisers. With this I will say goodbye I hope you get your cars soon and they will be better that you dreamed.

I will not be attending, but if anyone is, could they ask a question for me?

Will there be any way of locking the engine hood? Perhaps some locks that slide in place of the standard clips?

a while back, there was a discussion on hood locks and it seemed the consensus that here come the lack of tech knowledge, but like they use on hot cars Mustang?, one piece on the hood, the other on the body, and a "wire" looping through them- for our unit w/ a small lock, I believe was the conclusion- small, easy to install, and inexpensive
