I’d buy one, but, hey, years ago I bought an AMC Pacer.

Sitting in the back of that SOB would be a bear.

But for the college set, it would be great. I can see the Elio taking off, especially as a town car.

Best,

Chris

Another product geared towards liberal yuppies in CA.

How will it fare against the brutal cold we're having this winter? Seriously, this winter has been a female dog.

It’s a trike with a body.

Not a bad idea for a cheap, safe and more or less comfortable commute-o-box, but...a little too French for most Americans.

They’ll still sell some.

I’d buy one. The pictures are of a precious version. I don’t like the new one as well but they refined it to improve mileage. There’s a lot to like about the car. Good MPG, low price, probably fun to drive, not gimmicky, just basic engineering with a standard motor.

I always wanted to drive a go-cart on the road so yea, I’d be interested. I like the buy America concept, but would be more concerned what side of the isle their politics lay.

Definitely a car for whose who lack taste in aesthetics and styling.

I like it. But how would you rotate the tires?

The three wheelers of Europe were more tax dodge than engineering. They were considered a motorcycle and were cheaper to license.

Today I saw an Isetta 300 with BMW badging.

That car saved the BMW company, and matched demand in the post war German market of the time.

Good luck to this car company.

they anticipate a five star NHTSA safety rating

So they have word this will get such a rating. Wonder how much of a bribe they paid.

Love it, may even buy one. The Elio would handle about 90% of my transportation needs. And it is COOL as hell.

It’s long past time to drop the traditional “one-size-fits-all” vehicle paradigm. Not every car trip requires a vehicle that is capable of hauling 4+ people across the country but that’s the only choice we are given in passenger cars. An Elio plus a pickup truck would be a great combination.
