Elio Motors

Folks, I'm not a gambling man, My Wife does enough for the 2 of us. When I came across this company I really became fasinated with the concept. There isn't anything I haven't seen or read about this vehicle.
Whats not to like about 84 mpg $6.800 comes stock with, heater, air, electric windows & door lock & their finding a way to add cruise. I'll opt for the automatic tranny so my mileage will be lower. 107 mph top speed, American made. To be made in Shrevport La. Where they bought a completly tooled plant that GM closed.
I commute 70 miles a day on a 4 lane slab 6 days a week. With the money I'll save, I'll easily afford the payment. I'll have a few months to devolope a nest egg & I will sell my convertible.

So I reserved me one of these @ the $100 level. Hopefully I'll take ownership next summer/fall. I want the Creamsicle color. It could turn out to be the greatest thing on 3 wheels or it could be a turd. If it turns to be a turd, it will look good with my Helix. If its a GR8 thing I want to be the first on the block to have one. Looks like a ton of fun to drive! When they come out with a convertible, I may have to have one as well.

If it doesn't pan out, lets just say I've pissed away more money on lesser follies in life!

Hard to pass up just considering the price!

Nice mpg, might just have to have a closer look at those links.

Looks like a full bodied CanAm.

Very cool looking, Polaris has applied for a patent for a 3 wheeler, here are the drawings they submitted. https://www.motorcycle.com/how-to/patent ... ign=weekly

Most of all I like the elio will be built in the U.S.

I signed up for their email newsletter.

A CanAm Spyder that does not resemble a Skidoo.

Very cool.
In my heart of hearts, i know it won't get 84 mpg....and I know i'll cost more than 6800.
Still, for my "too cold/wet to ride commute"...I'd SO get one of these!

You could very well be right! I want mine with an auto tranny. So heck even if it got 70 to 75 mpg I'll be happy.
Another reason I'm in is, in case they raise the price after the one's that have their's reserved gets theirs. Just my sic thinking.....

Doesn't look like there's enough room in there for my lunchbox.
