I know it looks wide on paper but if you compare it to more vehicles it's actually much closer to the middle. When I measured/looked up a bunch of vehicles for the last thread I discovered the nissan leaf is 0.6" wider in front track and it's by no means a large or wide car.

impeccable logic .... unfortunately most women are emotional, not logical

LOL, duck and hide!

But hey, I've heard the logic from the fairer sex too.

"Honey, I need to go get those shoes that I want."
"Why do you need those shoes?"
"To go with that awesome brown purse?"
"What awesome brown purse?"
"The one that I saw at <insert store name here> that goes GREAT with the new shoes!!"

Ah yes..
Or the inevitable, "Look at the money I saved on these by buying one and getting the 2nd half off!" "But you only needed one."... "Yes, but the.. money..I saved..."

Respectfully disagree 2.oh ... :-) if you look at your list, the Elio is wider than nearly all 4-door sedans. I remember looking up 4-5 cars in my reserach and the Elio was wider than them all. Also, you have the 2013 Leaf listed to be narrower than the Elio. Did you mean another year of the Leaf?

That's my favorite! lol

My Mazda3 is not a large car. The track is something like 1.5 inches wider than the proposed Elio track.

People who live in glass houses... have made a poor choice.

Oops, no I apparently was remembering the Elio's track incorrectly. :/ All the vehicles I listed I measured, the elio I have to go by what they have released. Either way I remember not thinking it would be an issue after looking at the numbers. The sports cars and exotics on my list have narrower tracks due to wide wheels, where the elio has been designed around very narrow wheels by comparison.
