...he could buy a 6,000 3 cylinder from Ford, but there goes your price point.
I'm really not sure what point were arguing over. You said HenryFord only argued about the patent, and I said he also made the assembly line which made it possible for the masses to afford a car. I'm sure googling...
Ford did that with Jaguar and Aston Martin (utilizing already produced parts). Volvo S80 platform the basis for the Ford Taurus. Ford said they thought S80 platform alone was worth what they paid for Volvo. Jaguar S-Type, Lincoln LS, Ford Thunderbird all shared the DEW98 platform. Common engines...
Hey DBN477,
You said "I don't see the comparison to HenryFord. More like the original VW, the people's car."
HenryFord is also know to have made producing cars at affordable prices to the masses through creating the production line. In this aspect Mr. Elio has made his mark by utilizing...
...the ground floor for a very exciting project. Americans have always been for the underdog, and with this Elio, a lot of us see the next HenryFord. How many out there wish they would have bought into something years ago, and just didn't have enough faith or money to do it. I'm at a place...

...snowmobiles jet skis to farm and construction equipment. There was a very steep learning curve on all of them to know what to expect and know how to use ethanol mixes properly. Just a post script, HenryFord built the first flex fuel car, The model T. It could run on alcohol just as well as gas.
As HenryFord said. " They can have any color they want as long as it's black." I picture myself in the red one. Not sure about adding trim. That just adds weight and cuts gas mileage. Out here in the country, I'd like to see them offer an optional forward looking infra-red scanner to watch for...
