Is Anyone Going Base Model?

[Texconsin]

It's one thing to add an $800* automatic transmission to a $20,000 or a $15,000 vehicle (or even $12,000 to a Chevy "Speck"), but to add that amount (almost 1/8 or over 11.75%) to a $6,800 vehicle is another.

Right now, however, that is the ONLY option I MUST have...too much stop and go on my I-10 commute for a stick.

Anyone going to do me one better and go completely BASE model?

*per phone call to Elio, that's the maximum they hope to charge for the automatic transmission option

100% base model. Anything that I want to enhance, I'll do on my own

Well, unless they offer a sunroof... If they offer a sunroof from the get go, I may do that.

I like to drink (Soda) and drive. Automatic for me.

Or I could install a pair of these. One front and one rear!

I was planning on going base model only ... until I talked too much about how cool the Elio is ... now the wife wants to drive it as well & has "asked" for it to be an automatic ...

Automatic and cruise control...both a must for my daily drive. There will be "Bling" added in the future, but nothing from the factory.

Cruise, and sound. Maybe opening rear Windows if not too pricey.
