Well Elio responded but did not answer all the questions. The engine question. Clearly ignored the specifics of the question. Honda, Suzuki, Polaris have vehicles with engines that are similiar in weight to the Elio (not heavier). Warranty claims, come on, how many times is a dipstick replaced under warranty? Use a better example. Funding, the answer given, was what I expected. I sure hope everyone paid close attention to this comment "As we discussed, the funding process impacts the development timetable."
