Not sure if this is the place to post something of this nature, let me know.

Has anyone seen this and what do you think? A new kid on the block?

seems like a really small car. I like the open air feel of my ryde much better. This is an example of cheaper not always being better. Besides at 6 feet tall and 272 pounds that thing would be like putting on one of those speed skater suits for me:yikes:. And we all know, nobody wants to see that.

Elio Webpage Picture.......

I find it humorous that above the Elio vehicle, on their video page, it says "TOYS". A marketing faux paux for sure.

Check in the "Off-Topic" area; it's been in there floating around for perhaps three weeks now...
For $6800; what it is, is unlikely! :roflblack:
But I DO hope that I'm wrong!

I only saw it today for the first time and thought it was interesting, and thought others might enjoy a chuckle as well, but I must agree with Bob and most other replies. Like the Toy comment

I'm interested in its technology since it's essentially a Spyder with a body. I don't see how it can be produced for $6,800 retail. If they can make it for anywhere near that then the Spyder by comparison would appear overpriced.

It's 4 times cheaper than my :spyder2::spyder2: reason because it will be produce, make, sell, here in the

USA.

I will buy one for sure. I can always remove the windshield to feel the air.The plus is I can ride whole year round:yes:esp. here in the North west. Front wheel drive is the one I've been looking for and 84 mpg. I can't

wait.
