Yep, spending a bunch of cash to tune an exhaust that will never get used in the production vehicle makes lots of sense.

Its not that much money to have someone build a nice sounding and looking exhaust. I didn't know there was an exhaust issue.

That's true. Elio should spend the hundred bucks or so and get someone to quieter that thing down.

Probably needs a BIGGER muffler..... and nowhere to put it! I haven't heard it in person, but doesn't sound that 'bad' to me on the videos. After all, it is just a prototype, without the production engine and drivetrain.

Tell that to a 3 year old little girl. It was on the elio videos, they probably pulled it because it shows the little girl running around the huge drivers door right into the path of a possible on coming car. ...

Maybe if you are too feeble or irresponsible to 'control' a "3 year old little girl"...... perhaps you shouldn't be driving in 'traffic' either!

"They probably pulled it", is just an 'excuse' because you're too lazy to find it, but want others to do it for you..... nice try!

It was mentioned in CT that they are definitely getting a better muffler and relocating it.

Ah, I think your on the wrong forum. This is the Elio. As of the latest prototype, the orange one.

I agree. He is hell bent on turning the Elio into this Tuvie SEV. Not sure why he is determined to change the Elio instead of just buying one of those

 

[Jim H]

Easy to understand that he can't afford one and won't accept an Elio as an alternative.

I have 2 younger kids. One gets in on each side. Why is this any different?

It's not. The very narrow Elio with a standard size door isn't as far out into into the traffic lane as a conventional car.....so it's safer. Kids shouldn't be unsupervised irregardless. Heck the parent or Gparent will be standing right there helping with the seat back anyway. It's just needless negativity for negativity sake. We should ignore it and it may go away.

Exactly. I just couldn't be quiet. lol Much like the debate that it's unsafe to have the gas tank on the "passenger's" side that was going on a month or two ago. Silliness.
