That's how I've parked my last 2 cars (I also had remote start, so if left in gear, the car WILL move forward).

My brother lives in Seattle and he wants rubber floor mats on top of carpet because of all the rain they get their.

I remember one of my old cars, maybe '56 Chevy, had Reverse on the opposite end away from Park. Now that you mention it, that could have been why they went to the current configuration. Don't recall ever having a problem with the old setup though.

I remember driving my fathers '60 Plymouth with push button shift. Never had a problem with that either. But there was this guy....... Ralph... ahhh nitwit? maybe ahhh cramden? oh wait, I think it was Nader. Guess he figured we were all as stupid as lawyers and had to do everything one way and only one way.

Wow. I guess I should have added "in no particular order" to my post. I don't know if Reverse is on the far side of Park, that was just the order I arbitrarily put them in 
Wait... There's a place where people *don't* want rubber floor mats on top of the carpet? Honestly never occurred to me that there are people who *wouldn't* want this.
(Note that it's why I don't care if my Elio has carpet in it or not....)

I believe the dashboard is being made by VDO, which is owned by Continental Tire. The only reason I say this is because I ran across this news report, and what it explains. Additionally, VDO makes gauges. So one can only assume...

Welcome to the Forum ClarenceRay from the Pacific NW.
Nice article, but a number of things have changed since that came out in 2014.
You can do a search on here to get up to speed a bit more; or join into the active threads to catch some of the latest news.
The Elio in the picture in the article you posted is the P4; currently they are touring with the P5 and have started working on the 25 Engineering series that will be used for testing; they're called the E-Series; then in December of this year they have said that they are building 100 Fleet cars to be loaned to the fleet customers for some extended real world testing.
Oh and little word to the wise; the Elgin dash that's in the Elio is a tribute from Paul Elio to his father; in other words there will be no options for it.

What's interesting about this is how many things have changed since it was written in 2014
