Yep, frustrated motorcyclist senior, would love an MP3 but no nearby dealers, but since absent from the scene, the insurers [no real competition, just collusion] I would get rated as a newb all over again, but with home-made studded [illegal in S.Ontario]tyres[t-i-r-e-s..US spelling
] the Elio would fit the bill for year-round solo driving.Plus eliminate the need for two insurance policies.
True as the MP3 is approx. 9,500 on both sides of the border.
Though they would have to get by those unelected bureaucrats @ Transport Canada, who would first insist on Daytime Running Lights (that I detest, as I have no control over them and the mains on my Pontiac GS (same as a Chevy Cobalt) and what ever, but that could be circumvented by copying what Yamaha did in the seventies, put a relay in a parallel circuit that would activate the full lighting system upon the engine turning over, then on their own, owners could pull that relay for restoring manual control, but save it, for upon resale, the relay would have to be re-installed.
Then there is the falling CDN $, so I see the Elio creeping up to around Ten Grand or more here, never mind TC's insistence on any modifications!
Yet though, the CDN $ seems to be holding its' own against the € .........http://finance.yahoo.com/currency-converter/?u#from=EUR;to=CAD;amt=16
as it was cheaper to renew an account with a transload service that prices in Euros, rather than one that charges in US dollars.

Suicide doors would be nice.
Something like this seems like it would be more approachable with the current design of the vehicle.

I rather like the suicide doors on my F150. Makes getting my wife in/out of it a lot nicer than normal doors. Though I doubt I'd ever get her in the Elio as it sits much much lower.

I agree with Gizmo. The suicide doors work nicely on the F150. Of course, there is a lot more metal (weight) to make this rigid. I'm sure that we'll see gullwing versions once the modders get their hands on vehicles.
