Well, yeah, just one opinion. That's why we're here: To give our opinion.Yeah, well that's one opinion. Sounds remarkably similar to the EM party line.

I do believe that the current and near future 3W manufacturers need to immediately start filling a large amount of the page with disclaimers in large font even to the detriment of potential sales if they don't want big auto and big brother to step in. That said, IMHO, the Elio will never be anywhere near as safe as the average major auto makers' four wheelers, no matter how many air bags EM puts on it. So if this is a legitimate view of an unavoidable future, what are we even doing here?
Altogether, I think we agree on a lot of things. And you have some very good points. The Elio will not be as safe as a 4 wheel vehicle with all the mandated safety systems. But if the Elio did not have the safety features it advertises, including air bags, I wouldn't have put down a deposit at all.
