Is anyone following Elio?

If you haven't heard of this before it may be worth a look see.

Here is a press conference that sums it up for you....pay attention to the very last guy to speak.

Elio Motors Press Conference May 8, 2013 - YouTube

It would be great if they are successful. I wonder how much storage space there is. Maybe this could be the vehicle that starts a trend towards true commuter-sized vehicles; you don't need your Lexus to go 10 miles to work and back home...

I would buy one. that's a phenomenal price

That looks amazingly similar to something that has already been tried and failed miserably several times.

But if they can make it work then more power to them.

I actually put my 100.00 down already....if you watch the press conference...the last guy states how you can pay for the car.
It's a risk of course putting the money down...but look at the backing they have.

I'll take the risk

ill have to watch the video later, I am considering the full monty to get 500 bucks off on their dime, but right now my biggest concern is that while they are saying 6800 bucks right now, by the time it actually hits the market I could see it being 11 or 12k which IMHO puts it as a pleasure vehicle and not a money saver.

thats why i only did the 100, you can upgrade later.

Looks like a Can Am Spyder motorcycle with a cockpit.
