Watch the tour schedule for when one of them will be somewhere close and go see it; it is well worth the trip.I have not had the chance to see the elio in person. My level of interest started from my dad. Not sure how he found about about this, but I know it was back in 2012 somewhere. Given the chance, I would love to see the elio in person. Be able to sit in it, and test out that dashboard and see how much I really like it
I think some of your ideas about it may change when you actually see it; the first thing I said when I saw it was "it's a lot bigger than I expected" and when you sit in it and close the door you'll have the biggest smile on your face you've ever had.
