Elio Addict
Every day the Elio makes more and more sence, yet there is no sign it will make it into production. It seems the issue is raising the $300 million it will take to get up and running. That may seem like a lot of cash, but in the world of automobile manufacturing it's small change.
So, why haven't they been able to get the money? The Feds were supposed to help finance ventures that would be energy saving for the country. Elio is that. The Feds were going to guarantee loans for those business that proved they had a marketable product. Elio proved that. So why no help?
I may sound like a paranoid conspiracy theorist but, I think it's because of "Special Interests", who do not want to see the Elio on the market because a car like that will eat into their porfits. They use their political and economic power to squash it. The last thing they want is for us to stop buying expensive gas guzzling cars. Remember what happened to Tucker. This is the same thing, just being done more quietly... and they're getting away with it.
