What Do We Know About The Elio Chassis?

[Rickb]

While that is true, the reservationists were planning on seeing the vehicle at the beginning of the year with the new engine and a vehicle delivered. Quite a bit unimpressive for the general public that have seen the prototype and are knowledgeable about the delays but do not follow the progress as we do. Elio had pretty good coverage on Fox& Friends when in N.Y. last year.

I didn't mean imply that I wasn't extremely disappointed that EM let us down by not building at least one EP5 Prototype specifically to display at the NY Auto Show. That would have been a far better strategy providing that trolling for venture capital is a goal of attending that Big Autocycle Event.

With all the discussion of the upcoming International Auto Show, has anyone else noticed that on all Show sites, there is NO mention of EM even being there except for the floor plan??

That's not good marketing strategy.

What I would like is an Elio calender to put up at work. Lot's of pictures out there. Why not take the best 12 we can find and (with Elio's permission of course) make a calender?

Now THAT is a cool idea.

Oddly, every time I see a new styling change, I've actually preferred the previous body styling going all the way back to the P2, Obviously, form follows function and those slight changes make a major difference in performance and comfort.

Huh. Longer nose, larger trunk area, larger rear Windows, more ground clearance... Nice. It doesn't seem it would be that out of the question for Creative Motorsports to put on a new nose or raise the clearance in the time they have before the NY Show... But, raising the rear bodywork and changing the Windows... I don't know... Perhaps, they had the pieces ready and just needed a little time to put those on the existing frame. They'd have enough time to repaint it, that's for sure...

Just saying it isn't impossible.

Now THAT is a cool idea.

It could be EM's official countdown calendar to production.

Man! Ari does some great renderings! I'm anxiously awaiting the day when we won't have to "imagine" what it'll look like!

Yes, but it torments RUCRAYZE 'cause he wants yellow so much.
Is that cruel and unusual treatment?

Hummmm. Larger rear window,higher slope off the back, more interior space (however it gets reconfigured for seat and gas tank ) of course MC fenders , it's all a positive bonus!
