Elio Addict
I hate to admit it but for some reason I decided to read some ignored comments from PJ in which he referenced Pontiac MI blowing off elio in 2010 and that led me to do a search to see what he was talking about. As normal, I don't buy a word of how he spins things but I would like to thank him for motivating me to look.
I found this pdf of a board meeting: http://www.pontiac.mi.us/document_center/gers021010spec.pdf
It was interesting to note that all the commissioners voted in favor of further investigation but that almost all of them were too afraid to want to ride in "the trikke". I haven't followed all the links but it really appears that overcoming fear and misconceptions as well as just bad timing were the significant issues that caused the failure of the 2010 Pontiac MI effort.
For the power hungry folks, I found this quote to be very interesting: "You can also put a McClaren supercharger in the vehicle for an additional $800.00."
