At least it looks like a lot (not only the current "mule" motor, gages, etc.) has been morphed and inpired by at least the general ideas of the metro.

Using the forum search function you will be able to see that the Elio is not a morphed Metro. Currently the prototypes are using a Metro engine until IAV finishes the development of the real Elio drive train. The Elio is unique and represents a historic change in transportation technology. Members of the forum are helpful and friendly so welcome again. We look forward to your comments and contributions. Enjoy the journey to Elio ownership and the Elio experience.At least it looks like a lot (not only the current "mule" motor, gages, etc.) has been morphed and inpired by at least the general ideas of the metro.
I heard a report about fashion this weekend that claimed there is really nothing new under the sun. I suspect the same is true with vehicles. I feel the Elio is truly unique but that does not preclude it from having taken ideas from other vehicles from the past. Rearranging those ideas into the Elio is what makes it a unique vehicle and worth the risk we take supporting it. I am delighted that I am around to enjoy this adventure and all it includes (including set backs). What a wonderful experience it is proving to be. I hope you also enjoy the adventure. Next year in our Elios! :-) ZAt least it looks like a lot (not only the current "mule" motor, gages, etc.) has been morphed and inpired by at least the general ideas of the metro.

Elio, by Pauls own admission, is assembled from existing parts in the market and stocked in auto parts stores. So why wouldn't it look like other vehicles. Proven technology
The Elio is a small car. It's only practical that EM would use small parts.At least it looks like a lot (not only the current "mule" motor, gages, etc.) has been morphed and inpired by at least the general ideas of the metro.
