The P5: What Would You Change?

[Elio Amazed]

Elio Quark.

Elio Triune

Triune is a Synonym for triple or trio or three .

Troika works the same way

I say EM should do something way out of the norm and use the USDA meat grading scheme:

Elio Standard
Elio Select
Elio Choice
Elio Prime

You do have to keep in mind a name has to 'roll' out of the mouth easily.

Elio Prime seemed pretty good, so does Elio Quanta and Zelio for that mater( ? zElio ? ). Trifecta was just OK, but Elio Trifecta is awkward.

I think checking a thesaurus is good, searched from Prime, I find Prize and Zenith interesting. I'm sure some of our darker minds want Sith.

Another trick is to take a base word, clip it or expand it. From ecstatic, you could get Ecsta, Ecstat or Ecstoline/Ecstatoline/Ecstation.

How about Hollywood related ones, Gipper, Valentino, Garbo, Arliss, Pacino, or Capra? Capradon ?

Zenith is an old TV brand. There might be copyright problems.

Elio Triune

Triune is a Synonym for triple or trio or three .

Troika works the same way

Using the Tri as a base word is a very strong suggestion, BTW, the Triune was one of the earliest battleship designs from Greece.
Tridyne, Triton, Triline, Triadon, Triopta, Triatta, Triota, a play on corvette the Trivette, I DO like that one, but it's been done, so next best is Triette.

Edited: Ooops that ship was a Trireme https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trireme. Triune one of the many words for the Greek deity concept as well as the Christian Son-Father-Holy,, you know!

I got it!

The Elio Delta

"Delta" invokes both the "tri," as in three wheels, and the Greek symbol for difference, because the Elio is different from anything else on the road. The delta is also where the river (Elio) runs into and joins the ocean (conventional car establishment).

A few years ago EM referred to the design as the "Trikke". This name really sounds as good as any to me. Since it isn't a fire breathing sports car all the bad ass animal names are out. "Rabbit" has already been used and "Elio Puppy" just doesn't have the right ring to it.

Again, Copyright problems with the Faucet Manufacturer of the same name. But I like the concept.

It would be friendly if it were the puppy. WAIT! The FRIENDLY (on the budget, on the environment and for it's owners!

I was never a fan of the Trikke name because to me it always reminded me of the Trikke scooter, a toy.

I like just calling it an Elio S1. Or if you wanted to go with racier naming, Elio X1. "Quick Robin, to the X1!" "Holy three-wheeled hotness, Batman!"
