"What if" California Chrome had the name Louisiana Lead, would he have won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness? Triple Crown?

No, he would have been an "internet browser." Just saying.

Since this is a purely speculation based thread........I personally think the MSRP base Elio may come in at or a little under $6800. Since Elio has no price control over the private after market options those may be slightly higher. Go Team Elio!

I am defending no one here, so hear me out, please. I, too have been a moderator of a forum

"First, an enthusiast site . . ." (pulled from beginning of second sentence in the second paragraph of post #6)

Sorry, I had to snip this, as on many posts throught, "apparent conference calls with the company," this and that, and those who have those "apparent conference calls" call themselves "afficianados." Really? YOU had a conference call with Elio? Where is the number, so I can call?

Hmm, I am sure their are many "afficianados" who "aspire" to be this or that. My problem is this: where are you getting all your information, as I read and have found more information on eliomotors.com and eliowordpress.com. Are you making these up, pulling them out of your ear, what? I know that other posts have made their way in here from media sites, as well. For instance, plant information, the formar plant manager of Chrysler back in 1996 (whom both of my uncles at Chrysler had worked for, and knew personally. I could have gotten REAL information on/about him, but no one asked) who now works for Elio.

As a matter of fact, I am sure that those who study the "science" behind "Star Trek," "Start Wars," and other science FICTION "aspire" to be great something-or-others. However, they spend their time, "studying" this fiction, instead of pursuing fact and using their creative minds.

I mean, I can peruse the 'net, look up "facts," actually write what I want, but if there is nothing concrete to back it up, then it is pure speculation/guestimation/conjecture/"leading the witness, your honor!"

Don't blow smoke, if you don't know, you don't know. Just simply say what so many others have said, "We'll have to wait and see."

I have read a few big shots post explaining their confrence call , one has a secret number that he claims is being saved for a later date. I mentioned elio calling me about finishing my order , supplied the number from caller id only to get post telling me elio has never asked them to upgrade , as if I said that. But brian, if you value your life, never mention again that you have an uncle to anyone on this site.

I think inflation will drive it just a few dollars higher, honestly. I remember the Mazda B-series pickup, "Only Mazda's got a truck for just $5795! Sakes Alive!" kept going up by a 100 bucks or so each year after that.

Do you ride a Suzuki ? Sounds like you had a terrible experience !

I wasn't talking to you. But since you felt the need to comment (you know what they say).
Just saying, the members that wan't members off normally go about it the wrong way.
They should not reply or they should PM the owner, instead of name calling and bickering.
If you must know it was intended for them.
P.S. Read all my post, shouldn't take long, and then ask me if I ride a Suzuki.

Thanks, I will take it under advisement.

I still think that car will be the Pontiac Aztek of the future...

I think it will be a vehicle of some sort. People will drive in it with a smile, either way!! Right, Zelio?

I am not sure which vehicle you are talking about. I do not watch TV so have never seen any ads for cars but I do know I will drive the Elio with a smile. A very BIG SMILE! LOL :-)

Looking forward to seeing smiles of Elio owners. "Look, there are 'smiles and smiles' of Elios going down the freeway!!!"
