There has been a movement for the last 15 years for manufacturers to move away from traditional cast iron manifolds. More and more modern cars use a tuned steel tube design (you want a balance of exhaust pressure for each cylinder as to optimize efficiency for performance and emissions across...

Back in July of 2015, Paul Elio was telling everyone that by mid 2016 they would start production. So, it would be safe to say that when Paul or someone at the company told you something over 2.5 years ago, the plans have changed as of today. We already know the laundry list of items they have...

I was going by the tweets that 1500 jobs created after one phone call. I didn't realize it was spooling up jobs. Anyone know what that timeline is because I asked Elio a month ago and have not received a response. I just figured someone here knows more than I do.

That's why the french are all for electric vehicles. Right now, most are diesel and their plan will take at least 5-10 years to become reality. Gas is not on their list of the next great thing because unless the Elio shows up a foot shorter and a hatchback that can cram 4 people in it, they are...

Have you spent much time in Europe, China or Japan? They like short cars with cargo. Two things that Elio does not have. In addition to that, it's not a diesel. Mix that with a unknown company that has done no advertising whateoever in those areas of the world along with China that could...

I don't see the Elio being popular in Europe of Asia. I travel there constantly and it just doesn't fit into their car culture

The Elio dash looks good but just offering an option for the Elgin dash should be offered. Just give the people a choice even if it's an upcharge. I'd be willing to pay a few extra dollars for it. Plus, if only a few get the Elgin dash, it will just increase the value of your Elio down the road...

The ATVM loan get them to production and create 1500 jobs immediately. Then the sales will keep them going and then allow them to pay back the loan. As of now, Elio is the best thing going to show that what Trump is doing is right. Getting 1500 instant American jobs that is from an old discarded...

My mother in law just bought a new VW Jetta for $14,500 (she bought the base with a manual). It has a flat bottom steering wheel on it and a whole slew of buttons on each side. It has a bottom spoke though. That thing has everything on the wheel. Radio controls, cruise control and even phone...

The Elio has a Viper steering wheel? Do you guys have a pic of it?

You missed the point. I'm talking about design patents. This is the overall design. Currently, I could just copy the Elio and there's nothing they could do about it. As for the off the shelf components, Elio has fallen off that shelf since they are specifically designing parts for the car that...

You have to remember what he's trying to accomplish. It would be like if I decided to climb Mt. Everest by myself. I can have all of the grit and determination of anyone, but I do have to be realistic. This is where Elio should have started off a bit smaller as opposed to going from nothing to...

I'm surprised that Elio Engineering or Elio Motors does not have any recent ones. Especially a design patent on his car. On the other hand, they might have tried that and it was either too general or just like a previous patent that expired.

The reporter had three warrants out for her arrest back in 2011 and got fired from her job in 2014: http://www.unclebarky.com/dfw_files/acc5492d9bf30c709bda7b2e300d017a-3121.html

Wouldn't it been better for Elio to at least acknowledge that from March to today, that those 100 pre production units never happened as opposed to just ignoring that press release completely and leave the investors just guessing and sending emails to the company with no response whatsoever to...

I suggest everyone here go to Shanghai China. If you like your eyes to have a slight burning sense all of the time, one clear day a month, when it rains it doesn't have a slight burning feel to it, rivers that run orange and smell like sewage, then we need to get rid of all of those regulations...

As a 5'7" person, there is way more room on the front and rear seat than any other car. A friend of mine has a Fiat 500 and it seems tiny when you are riding in it.

ECCA (Elio Car Club of America) is formed and getting over 65K new members per month.

I could see some Germans buying and importing them. They would consider it a novelty and being unique. Probably turn them into some delivery vehicle for a fast food restaurant and plaster some goofy name on the side, paint it bright green and put a tail on it. People in the US are not buying an...
