The Elio
Have any of you heard about this new vehicle, the Elio?
The Elio, is classified as a motorcycle due to it having only three wheels.
84 mpg
5 star crash rating
Cheap insurance
Best part is, it is projected to cost only $6,800 when production starts next year.

Re: The Elio
Looks way cool.
Wonder how it does in the snow?
4wd is a good thing around here in Winter.
In the UK most cars are tiny now compared to here.
And diesel is a lot more popular.
8-10 bucks a gallon gas will do that.
It's only a matter of time.
Unfortunately.

Re: The Elio
84 MPG would be nice but I can still fit 5 people comfortably in my Prius plus there is still storage in the back.
I wouldn't buy any 1st generation vehicle though. I wait for the second gen so they can work out the bugs.

Re: The Elio
Yes I believe this is a two passenger "car".
But imagine it for the college student or a single person in an urban area.

Re: The Elio
Tom's right. It's because coffins are so highly regulated that they cost so much, but so little regulation that they are inexpensive. They require airbags but no seat belts. Add $3300 and subtract $570, except in California and NYC.Structo wrote:I think even coffins cost more than $6,800

Re: The Elio
Also, red. Seven miles to the gallon (if you don't open up the secondaries very often). Seatbelts unused since the 60s. 4000 pounds of mass for an inertial "safety" factor.jestaudio wrote:whats up with you guys, it ain't got a hemi, how can that class as a American car lol
