[goofyone]

Hopefully not a 'baaaa-d' omen, but 2015 is the year of the sheep.o_O

The ram/goat/sheep is my Chinese Zodiac animal so this is supposed to be a good year for me as long as I don't do anything stupid like play with sharp objects!

is the year of the lean, weaned, creamcycle
MACHINE!!

This certainly holds a grain of truth. As a passionate Elio fan and potential buyer I cant help but wonder if we will ever see this vehicle make production. There are a lot of deposits but no deliverables. When this much hype is created and customers are lined up, why no Elio? The answers seem to be vagaries followed by more promotional hype and deposit promos. I hope I get one but I am beginning to lose faith and have that funny feeling that this is too good to be true.

Paul6,
As long as your last name isn't Elio I'm ok with you feeling that way, just hope your year gets better.

I disagree. they have done a pretty good job of keeping us updated on the status of the vehicle and the delays. I'm just waiting on the test results of the engine before putting my money down.

With the technology, computers and talent we have today just one question...Why the hell haven't you got a running engine in 6 years?
How about hiring some shade tree red necks to do the job.

 

[Dusty921]

Nah!
The rednecks would be trying to mate Ford and Chevrolet parts on a Kia!

And just where do you think all those OFF THE SHELF PARTS Paul says they are using is coming from?

You might have a point there, careful though, it might be like the point I have on my head

Paul6, welcome to the forum. Looks like you are another individual who has serious doubts about the Elio. I will not attempt to make you an Elio advocate. There is plenty of information on the forum to help you make an intelligent decision. The Elio is not for everyone and is certainly not for anyone who is unwilling to take a risk or doesn't have the financial resources. Hopefully, the forum will provide you with a level of comfort to consider it. If not, sit back, watch its development, and buy one after all those with reservations have purchased theirs. We look forward to your questions, comments, and opinions.
