Standard Equipment And Options

Good point, I remember my 72 vett had t tops and I believe some of them had a top that came completely off. Seems to me it could be a pain in the butt to mess with but would be neat ride in summer.

You could just make it a hard top convertible. Sure it might be a bit more difficult to take off and put on, but this way, you could keep the air bags in the frame (assuming they are located below the window). Just add a couple bolts to attach it to the main frame, and wallah! You have a nice vehicle for both the summer and winter months that will insulate better then the canvas tops.

What the car's that have them or the warranty's ?

I find it interesting that when you buy extended warranties, they cover "everything," but if you actually try to use it, it covers "NOTHING."

Oh yeah, you would have to relocate the side airbags (good luck with that one).

I was wondering if the side airbags were going to be curtains or seat mounted. So they are not seat mounted?

Nope, curtains mounted over the door and window on the right

Awesome, I like that much better. Hoping to never test them, but glad to know they are there and mounted high instead of just on the sides.

There's a CAD movie somewhere that shows the crash test and the airbags deploying.

Only one I could find on a quick search. It only shows the front bag deploying, but the video has lots of other good simulations to check out.

That's one of them; I'm pretty sure I've seen one with the side curtains (then again it might be the meds)

The options are coming! The options are coming!

Paul is opening the NY Auto show with an announcement about myelio.me or some such name, which is where you get to pick your options.

If you look at the customising page on elio.com it now shows a draped car with a coming soon tag.

Soon might well be tomorrow late in t he day. Or maybe not.

Can you spell YELLOW?

Yup, I just got the e-mail about this! It sounds like you will be able to upgrade your car after the fact as well. The e-mail doesn't specify if this will be done by the owner, at an Elio store, or if your car will be shuttled off to a marshaling center overnight, but it definitely suggests that "keeping your Elio current" will be a possibility that they will be facilitating.
