Don't forget that Forest Green will have lower visibility on the highway than will the Lime Green. I swear, at times when I look at the videos of the Elio, someone somewhere is going to make you put one of those tall red flags on the rear, for visibility, like they do with the scooters and bikes around here!

As long as I don't have to put a baseball card in the rear spokes to give it a decent engine noise...

I was just trying to find this pic!

My question is.... Is this actually a picture of the P5, or is this a re-colored picture of the P4? Does anybody know? Also note that the round Elio logo appears to be colorless now, instead of green.

I was talking about the color on top of the hood, the lower grill I do see as Red; I do agree, I would have liked to see a deeper (darker) Red: more along the almost Burgandy/Dark Cherry Red

I suspect the actual paint is uniform and you're picking up variations due to lighting. Still lots of blue in that red, but far less than in the "paint chips" seen previously.

I wonder if EM thought about using classic car colors for their color offerings to stimulate interest?

Black, white, silver...yes.
Ferrari Red
Shelby Cobra Blue (suggesting aftermarket white stripes)
BRG
Corvette Yellow

I'm for BRG with mustard yellow trim or Silas-style decor

The above picture showing the P5 with the front wheel openings fully enclosed, was completely misleading. The actualy P5 has the wheel openings still unenclosed.

Why was this completely misleading picture released?

That's not a picture ..... it is an artists conception
