Well, dual-rear-wheel is better than single front wheel, isn't it?

But of course!True...but want dual front wheel drive...
That plant was one of GM's most modern plants. As far a facilities go, Elio couldn't have done better. The equipment there is modern enough that it won't need replacing for quite some time.RMCClubfitter, welcome back! I tried to leave, came back, tried to leave again and came back.
I like the Elio concept.
As far as keeping up, after 8 years following EM, I feel I'm in exactly the same place I was 2-3 years ago when I made a reservation deposit. The old GM Hummer Plant Equipment was probably too outdated to be of much value. Robots seem to be the wave of the auto manufacturing future.
I know it's perfect for EM. My comment related the value of any used equipment they can't use. That was then this is now.That plant was one of GM's most modern plants.

Lots of fishy stuff going on in the wonderful world of innovative transportation options, but knowing Derwin he is taking his time to make the new FTRC bigger and better.

The Helix is based on the proven engineering platform of Vanden Brink's DVC technology. It was used and road tested in over 200 hand built CarverOnes years ago. VandenBrink has made improvements on the original DVC.Rear wheel drive instability, lack of traction, price, crash safety issues for Helix?
Price? Cost for counterintuitive handling? I believe that the overriding theme is to create this century's people's car...this century's VW Bug. Innovative solutions and technology for the masses not the overserved financial elite...so Elio Motors should meet that criteria.The Helix is based on the proven engineering platform of Vanden Brink's DVC technology.
