Honestly, I never believed $6800 was going to be the final price. It was always "an estimated cost". I was expecting the final price to be between $8000-$9000, which I was gladly willing to pay. My $1000 All-In deposit was my commitment to buy the Elio, so for me to re-commit meant nothing...

Right back at ya ClubJoe, although I should be welcoming you since my membership pre-dates yours. Welcome from Citrus County.

Hey Sailor Mike, glad to meet cha. We'll have to meet up when we get our Elios. I do a lot of driving for my job and was in Hudson on Saturday. So New Port Richie was just down the road from me. Keep in touch.

I recall reading that they will have their own presses for the body panels on site. I didn't know that fiberglass was a part of the process though. Thanks for the link explaining SMC.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with it being a "molded part of the main body". If you look at an end shot of the bulge you can see that it does not fit well against the side panel. It has obviously been added onto the side panel, which would make it removable IMHO.

I am one of four that I know of in Citrus Co.

I might be interested, but you might want to find something more centrally located in Florida. People in the panhandle would have a 12-15 hour drive to go to Key West. I could be wrong. Maybe people don't mind a long driving trip to show off their Elios.

Just back from Daytona and seeing the P4. I was told that the rear passenger area is now actually smaller than on the P3, which conflicts with my previous statement, but they are still tweaking the design. I was told they are going to move the windshield 2" forward and raise the roof line...

I also went to Daytona on 3/13, a Thursday. I thought that would be better than the weekend, which it was according to friends who went on Saturday, 3/15. Just over 110 miles from Crystal River and a beautiful day on the bike (Honda Stateline). I love the new improvements to the P4, even the...

You know, looks are one thing and function is another. Do you realize how much more interior room this design change gives, especially if you are the rear passenger? And access to a rear storage area without having the rear passenger displaced, or worse having them become a luggage handler...

I'm not sure where you got your facts, but I got my reservation in November 2013, and there were already 4300 reservation before me, so obviously they were taking reservations long before December. I also don't think it will have 70 hp, more like 55-60 hp. Anyway, time will tell.

Please no Harley Davidson dealer servicing. We are trying to keep all the costs of ownership down. Have you seen the prices on anything at an HD dealer that was reasonable? I haven't. My two cents.

That was exactly my strategy until I sat in the Elio. I too was going to wait until they at least got the old Hummer plant and a few more investors. But after see it, touching it, and sitting in one, I was a goner. Most of my questions were answered at the showing I attended, and now that P4...

Finally, they released a descent shot of the rear with the hatch open. I LOVE IT. They have obviously increased the interior space for the rear passenger and made a usable space behind the rear seat (with access). Looks like I'm going to get more for my money than I bargained for, and I like...

How about rolling down the window and crawling out that way, unless you are one of the 5% that won't fit through the window. I would like a sunroof as an option

Actually, I did make my first suggestion on FB (mount the wiper on the other side) and they did respond that they would pass on the suggestion. I really don't like using FB and would rather support an Elio specific site such as this one. I would like to see a heading unique for options others...

I agree with having one color throughout. Although if my first choice of color is not offered (Bright Yellow) then my thought is to paint the wheel covers bright yellow on the orange Elio. Should be an improvement over the flat black and might even make it standout more visibly.

Actually, I suggested we start a thread of options people would like offered for the Elio. I have many ideas and suggestions, like having the rear side windows pop open like on the old VW beetle or the Dodge Caravan's manual rear windows. I can't image it would add that much to the cost; a...

Not sure how I gave the impression that I want black. I don't. I did mention that the black wheel covers only look good on the black car. I'm the guy who wants Elio to offer the Bright Yellow color again. Orange is my second choice if no yellow is offered. White is next because I can use...

Glad to see someone else thinks so. Maybe we can get a movement started and get Elio to reconsider dropping it as a color choice. It's just not for the sake of the color, but for the safety aspect. Bright yellow is one of the most highly visible colors night or day and an Elio needs all the...
