And Now... The P5!

I like the look of the exhaust port, I'm wondering fi their is one on the drivers side too? I'm sure if there is a problem with the *gas fill* location being above the port Elio has taken that into consideration. As for the rest of the *new* look I have to say I'm not a fan of the new nose area.....Too sharp looking for my taste. I liked the smooth sleekness of the old nose. I hope they don't make too many changes in the look....the *look* was what made me fall in love with the Elio in the first place. I would hate to fall out of love with it...I've been waiting too long to not get the car I fell in love with in 2013 when I made my reservation.

said he can't guarantee the outcome.

"It may or may not happen," Elio said. "Until it's done, it's not done."

( also, look up the definition of "spurious" LOL )

"said he can't guarantee the outcome." Can you guarantee the outcome of any given action?
"Until it's done, it's not done." self evident. If someone thinks it's done before it is done they are not too bright.
"It may or may not happen," self evident. There are no guarantees in life.

You might add, "There is no such thing as free lunch!"

spurious: not being what it purports to be; false or fake.

Thanks, that definitely makes it easier to compare.

Yes it does make it easier to compare and now that I see them side by side I hate the new nose even more!

It has been a long agonizing wait for some substantial good news to re-energize us. Now, finally, we have some! Bask in it while we can, shove the skeptics back on their heels, watch those prototypes roll. I'm excited, can you tell?

I know the interior is a future 'reveal' but the black out windows are pretty boss!

I like the flat edge on the back of the front wheel housings... I can easily attach some reflective surfaces to that...

Nobody on this thread has mentioned that the P5 as shown from EM does not seem to have a right side door! What gives? Why would they not show it if it was still going to be included?

The Elio has never had a right side door, only left. What article has mentioned a right side door?

The Elio will have 1 door on the left side. I have not heard any claims of a right side door, except maybe way early in the prototyping phases...

There never was a right side door. Nothing to show.

I mean no offense, but the statement of no second door only shows that we are getting a whole new set of interested folks looking at the details, for what might be, the first time. It is a great sign and this is the best place to get those details. Just my perspective.

Imagine the excitement had it been the actual P5 build unveil and not just a CAD rendering.
