Sorry Dancer I think your wrestling Entertainment stock didn't do any better than my entry here either.Such big press from Forbes? Then again, my WWE stock plummeted after the company was featured on the cover.
The article does remind that few of us have test driven this car, and it might not be quite what we imagine.
In the end some people will like the vehicle and others will not however the issue I have always had with these media test drives is that the current prototype is not representative at all of actual production vehicles driving experience. We do have to keep in mind that pretty much all the mechanical systems in the prototypes will change before production. EM has also admitted that the prototypes do not have any sound deadening insulation and the interior fit and finish is far from complete. Up until now the prototypes have been more about getting the basic body and chassis design locked down in order to achieve the aerodynamic goals than about the mechanical systems.
The article correctly stated that they drove a very rough prototype but this line is easy for a lot of people to overlook when they read the article. I have wished Elio Motors could get away without letting journalists drive the prototypes however I know that is not realistic as it would just lead to a lot more questions and suspicion.
