    At least they didn't lie to you.
    Here's to hoping that they beat their delivery date, and you get it early!

    I know someone who has actually put money down on one of these things. He's not the brightest bulb in the box......

    There was a test drive clip on Yahoo the other day. 20 minutes worth, and being driven in downtown New York City.

    Of course, I cannot find the link now.

    The testers were from a motorcycle magazine. They apologized for the terrible performance of the Elio at least four times. "It's a prototype and is not properly set up."

    Noisy, no windows installed, the transmission was "wonky," and the gauges were non-functional. At the end, the left front fender came loose and the vehicle stopped in the middle of the driving lane with the wheel on top of the fender--Oooooops!

    I thought to myself, what a POS. With about a year to get the vehicle in full production and get the "bugs" worked out--I am sure glad I don't have any pre-ordered or any money down. On a scale of 1 to 10--I would give it a 1 for starters.

    Time will tell--

    Oh, my. Hope I didn't offend!!!!

    The guy I know has been talking about this thing for 3 years. He's had money down since the beginning. If I asked him today, he would say this is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I don't know.

    I wouldn't put money down on something until the bugs got worked out either. That's why I waited a few years to get my Spyder!! I'll let other folks be the guinea pigs....
