Thanks for the info. Good thing is that I've worked with that company many times before and on a current project. I'll just contract them directly to find out what is going on.

I assume you mean, Comau. The company based out of Italy (owned by Fiat). They pretty much do stamping, welding, robotics and parts flow. Really good company but they don't have the capability to set up the whole plant, they are just part of the puzzle. I would assume that Elio has been sending...

Do they break down the reservations as to the level at which people reserved their cars?

It just comes down to that seats are pretty much the same and production can be...

I'm new here, but I was in Shreveport two days ago. A customer of mine there was telling me that the Elio plant was hiring 150 people and something was starting up right away. I was in the middle of a few things and never checked into it. I was wondering of Elio was starting production soon...
