Honda "civic", Nissan "altima", Elio "...?"

What cool model names will Elio have? Surely it can't be the "P6"!

Or could it...?

And Paul Elio created the company Elio Motors but I'm waiting for the announcement: "Elio Motors is now [new name]". Like Ford/Lincoln or Toyota/Scion.

I see no need for such a creation, but if you must- "Elio Motors"
But please don't hold your breath waiting
And I do remember kicking this around.

I eagerly await to hear what this potentially revolutionary trike will be named. Calling it "the Elio" is a tiny bit frustrating because I'm pretty sure that won't be its final name, and we're hopefully just less than a year from production.

Personally I think I'd prefer a simple, perhaps number-based name not dissimilar to P5, E1, etc., etc.. But who knows. Hopefully I'll like the name that's finally chosen!

I suspect the final name may not be released or decided on until we're just a few months from production, but all of this is blind speculation on my part.

We have been told it will simply be called the Elio. I have not heard anything new on that decision other than from speculating interviewers and we have learned not to believe them. :-) Z

Oh really? My mistake, then. I hadn't seen anything about that. Thanks for the information! I hope it'd eventually get its own name, as I'd think that be important for branching out to producing other models many years down the line. I suppose simply the Elio would suffice for quite a while.

My impression is the Elio is all that is needed now, and as you say for quite a while. When they decide to branch out with other models then they can choose to name them. There have been lots of names bandied about but I have always considered it simply the Elio and suspect I always will. I like the name. It is one more way to simply be different from the norm. I am all for that. Of course I could be wrong and a name will be added down the road but I suspect it will be done because of outside pressure not because Paul Elio feels the need. Again, simply a guess. :-) Z
