Not cheap!! InexpensiveSafety?!? Is there anything you guys DON'T expect from a cheap vehicle that gets supe-high mpg? Be a little real, you're gonna have to give up something somewhere. I think the Elio is trying to strike a better balance than most other options. But let's face it, if I wanted to drive something that gets 75 mpg and costs under $7k today, I would be driving a motorcycle with a tiny little engine. What was the crash test rating on a motorcycle again? Somewhere between organ-doner and Dead-man-rolling as I recall. Why is it that on two wheels we are the Bold knights of the open road who defy all convention, sneer at the mediocre masses, and boldly look into the cold eyes of fate and challenge him to a duel...... But put some windows around us and suddenly we're comparing crash-test ratings and counting airbags? What gives?
