The "let's Argue Over Colors And What Elio 'said'" Thread

[Eliometer]

If I didn't have to drive on very dark roads (through mountains) I would love purple. Unfortunately I feel dark colors will simply disappear to view of other drivers under those driving conditions. So I am going for Creamsicle (no matter how it is spelled I get a red flag) and adding reflective tapes like they use on semis. I have noticed I really like to see them and I want them to readily see me also. Z

I hear you on that zelio. And I've got four beautiful words for you: LED under car lights!

On an Elio of any color it would be like driving a UFO highly visible sophisticated vehicle!

My wife giggles she wants a color that says I over paid for the car...

I tossed her keys to her Mercedes...lol

Send Elio your resume!!! They need you. I'm a "fan" of LOUD and noticeable colors, especially when riding in a small vehicle. Hence my 'header orange' Dart I'm currently driving.

I would love to work for Elio... sometimes I think their engineers need to use more logic! LOL

I'm with you on the Yellow.

The Yellow looks better than I thought it would. Also like the faded yellow and the bronze.

Did you see the survey they did recently? I told them from the very beginning that Yellow would sell better than orange or the crappy Kawasaki green, and their survey proved that I was right (and I told them "I told you so"), but they are too stuck in their ways to change their mind and offer another color. Their first survey was very flawed (when they hired a company to do the survey instead of surveying potential buyers) and they picked ridiculous colors, colors that should have been much brighter, happier, noticeable colors. My only regret in being #758 is that next year they might offer better colors.

I have to agree. I like most everything about this vehicle, but not too crazy about those colors. I don't see why they would be locked in on color choices this early in production planning.

Man I love the LED idea. That would be a smile every time the sun went down!

Well shock me, I like the bright pink and the turquoise or is that aqua. The pink would be trippy.

EastCoastCentralFla, I know attachment 1010 would make many of those who want a Yellow Elio very happy.
