These things are desirables and not essentials. Full filling all kinds of desirables has given the market reasons for the main-line automakers to sell a new model every year, and also has raised the price up to the point that we have $30k average prices. And we're being sold more luxury, more features, more candy each time. Next they want to sell us networked vehicles and autonomous driving. For sure they'll add streaming movies, first shooter VR and casino gaming as soon as they find a marketing angle for it. And profit motive is only loosely coupled to need.just spotted this, concept car from <year?> found it at 7;40 mark of this you tube video.

Welcome Carolyn! Sooner or later Elio will come to a town nearer you..............are you considering a reservation or is it too early yet?I love the Elio. I have been talking about it ever since I seen it on fox news. I would love to be able to go to Dallas to see and test drive one in person,but I can't drive that far. carolyn
Carolyn, welcome to the forum from an Elio addict in Ne Mexico. Just so you know Elio doesn't offer test drives yet. That is planned after the P5/E preproduction models are finished this fall. It will be early next spring before any of us get to test drive one. Enjoy the Elio journey and the experience.I love the Elio. I have been talking about it ever since I seen it on fox news. I would love to be able to go to Dallas to see and test drive one in person,but I can't drive that far. carolyn
Thank you for saying "IN THE FUTURE"! I, too, think this is a fun future concept. I am sorely grieved to find many future owners of first year Elio production models asking to put on trailer hitches (can't with the initial stability control program), turbochargers, do SCCA racing, etc., etc. Great ideas for the future, but I think many peoples' expectations and imaginations are getting ahead of the practical realities. Paul Elio has said he will be producing only 14 models, consisting of 2 transmissions and 7 color options. Everything else, initially, will be aftermarket, SOME OF WHICH may be installed at your pick up point.Not a big fan of the T-rex styling but the Campagna VR13 Roadster........love it! Could be an Elio Roadster version in the future.
