Elio motors

[pismoe]

--- Elio Motors: Ultra High Mileage Vehicle --- 3 wheeled car , 80 mpg and about 7,000 dollars if it happens . Not a Morgan but still interesting .

I was expecting a Chinese or Indian Import but it's made in Louisiana!

$7,000. 24,500 reserved slots. Hmmm.

Inline 3 cylinder. Didn't certain Saturn models have a 3 banger too?

Looks like a hardtop version of the Can Am Spyder without its performance.

That it does! But it looks like the Elio is half the price of the Can-Am.

i'm interested , see what happens but seems to me that upgrades for both performance and handling will happen . 3 cylinder motors were in a few cars [GEO and a SUBURU cheapies ] and have been in motorcylcle since 1969 [ BSA and Triumph] . I'm interested !!

I expect it will be exactly as successful as Liz Carmichael's 3-wheeled car!
