Maybe true, but it is more interesting than counting reservation numbers on Elio's home page. Any news is better than none.

Actually, other than claiming Elio owns the Shreveport plant, the article is pretty good. In fact for this particular author it is down right positive. Thanks for posting. :-) Z

#3310 all in waiting for Sept. 2015 I would add a 12v accessory plug in receptacle for NAV . A back up camera would be nice too. My leased GMC will be a distant memory and I will pay $70 a year motorcycle insurance plus a couple of bucks for fire theft and collision. I used to pay $73 a year but I got $3 off for no accidents from Progressive Ins this includes towing. It's quite a bit less than insuring a 2013 GMC.

The 12v receptacle is standard. I think I read there is also one in the rear, but not positive about that one.

It's just paraphrasing (plagiarizing?) the two articles linked at the bottom as "Source1" and "Source2". Go to those articles instead and get it straight from the horse's mouth instead of supporting a clickbaiter:

I am still laughing at their line about a V3 engine design.

"While early prototypes used a three-cylinder Suzuki engine which was found in the old Geo Metro compact cars, the finished product will be using an in-house V3 design built from the ground-up by Elio Motors."
