First Post

[Persus]

Hi all, this is my first post to the forum, but I have been following the Elio Stages for a few months now. I am 44, and currently commute about 50 mile round trip daily. Looking for something like the Elio that won't break the bank and easy on the gas.
I was originally looking for a potential car for my soon to be drive son when I ran across the Elio. After looking at it and reading up on it, I decided that if I were to purchase one (planning to) it would most likely be for me. I can see myself enjoying the vehicle.
I know the car currently is named after the Founder, but I always thought as the founders name should be the brand and not necessarily the model name.
So I was thinking since the whole concept is to use a closed down GM factory, you might want to call it the Phoenix, as it is rising from the ashes of the dead plant.
Anyway just a thought. I look forward to the actual release of the vehicle and as soon as I can put some money down to reserve a vehicle I will do so.
Continue to move the project forward Gents, it is looking good.

A big welcome to you Persus, glad to have you here!

Great idea on the model name of the vehicle. "The new and exciting Elio Phoenix... it has arrived!"

Welcome, Persus!
Since Paul Elio lives in the Greater Phoenix area, I believe you've picked a great name for our autocycle brand.

Welcome Persus to probably one of the best sites for every bit of knowledge on the Elio.
We've dissected it so many different ways I don't know if there are any other angles left
Make yourself at home, and if you can't find what you're looking for by using the Search Function, feel free to ask.

Your bio says Washington State, so welcome neighbor; what part do you hail from?
There are a lot of others on here from the Pacific NW also.
