Will they at least have paint samples of each color as they tour the country this year so those of us tossed up on color can make a better decision?

no doubt .... he may well get the same answers when he gets to the tour and speaks with Jerome but I've found the answers will be much more personal and often include a bit of personal insight that is lacking on FB .... of course, he's free to not ask, they were simply suggestions

I'll be going for sure. Want to see how restrictive the view is out of that windshield. I'll try to take a ton of photo's... are there any missing I should take for the guy who is trying to build the 3d model? I would borrow my friends kinect 2.0 and scan it but I don't have software or hardware up to snuff to use it.... aaaaand I doubt if they'd like me doing that.

Is anyone going for a "stars and stripes" paint job?

Surely someone will, but not me.
I was taught to respect the flag, and that includes artistic renditions of it. Being covered in dust, mud, snow, or salt spray is not respectful IMO, and my Elio will look like that from time to time. I might consider it on a show car, but not a driver.
Ditto on the respect for our flag! I did however have a large magnetic one (about 20x24) on my truck tailgate after 9-11 and took it off every week and washed it off. At times you could barely tell what color the truck was but the flag stood out loud and proud! Finally had to take it off after several years, when the color faded and no longer looked good. I should look for another one.
Thanks! Yes, need a better look at the shock area and how the hub-carrier, and support for the wheel cover.I'll be going for sure. Want to see how restrictive the view is out of that windshield.

Also at the back from a low angle, but from a distance so the perspective, the parallax, isn't distorted.
Then you can ask will the shock be more tucked in, or will the new body contour simply cover it up?
Also ask, if the opening for the suspension change, becoming slits or a different shape?
Finally, how will the side opening integrate back to the belly pan?
That should about do it! Thanks again!
Opps, yes a photo of the elgin design, but a variety of photos of the dash and shifter area. A photo of the bracketing used for the Skyz display.

All the stats, pictures, measurements and comments fall away when you actually sit in it. As soon as I sat down, it was perfect!! visibility, position, layout, ergonomics etc. can only be appreciated. I suggest that as many as possible have the experience- it renews the spirit!!

The Confluence Conference http://www.confluencerome.org/speakers/ is actually open to the public, but tickets are required. However when looking over Conference speakers I noticed the following for Elio. My guess it's an uncorrected excerpt Elio provided before knowing they'd need to push production back. But who knows. Speculation is so much fun.
"Traditional personal transportation isn’t working like it used to. We need a new way of getting around.
That’s when a car enthusiast, a visionary, a man with a dream named Paul Elio got an idea. A simple, brilliant idea. To create a vehicle for today’s generation of drivers that addressed their transportation needs and the world’s new realities.
Anticipated Production Date Sept. 2015."
