My conclusion is that with the lower gas prices, people are buying cars for "fun" and less for "economy".

I believe EM should fix an Elio up in a very sporty paint design with mag open wheels and diagonal coil over shocks. Then show this off as what can be done with an Elio. In advertising, it is always important to grab people's attention.

Paul is an engineer and we engineers tend to be stodgy and practical and that definitely is not currently selling.

That idea has some merit! Bring along on their tour an Elio GT w/turbo, aerodynamic body add-ons and exposed front suspension just for the people that aren't into them for the mpg aspect. I like it!
