Elio Stabilty On Highway,wind, Steep Grades, And At70mph.?

Good point. Kind of like the wings icing up on airplanes.

That's what I'm thinking. But those would probably be freak conditions and one easily avoided.

If you think about it, the Elio wheel set-up would have way less impact on suspension icing than a standard car/truck. The wheel fairings would mostly isolate the suspension from the crap splashed up by the tires unlike a wheel well. Much ado about nothing, I say.

I have a CanAm Spyder which is similar in layout to the Elio....although it is fine in town, on a not perfectly smooth interstate I find it to be darty

Compare the wheelbase and the stance; that will determine how "twitchy" it will be at speed.
On the CanAm, the driver and passenger give it a much higher CG, plus the wheelbase on the CanAm is shorter than the Elio; then add in the aero dynamic differences between the two.
So I can see how it would be a different experience on the CanAm then it will be in the Elio.
