Wait till you see it in the next (or maybe next next) Bond movie. Parachute in the trunk, rolled out of a C130 at 15,000 ft to float gently down and cruise around a tropical Island searching for the lost Bond girl (Played byAlyson Hanigan) !
You mean they are still making James Bond movies or is this a different Bond? :-) Z

I remember very similar discussions when the Prius first came out. There were vigorous debates about how to pluralize 'Prius' when there were two around. Is is Priusses, Priuses, or, because Prius has a Latin origin, Prii? I don't think I ever figured it out. At any rate, 'The Elio' is just fine since, like 'The Prius', 'The Elio' promises to exert an equal or even more profound disruptive influence on the automotive business. I see zero reason for Elio Motors to change the name and given the utter absence of any formal rumblings to that effect, I think that I'm hewing the official party line.

The plural of Prius is officially Prii.
