Elio Addict
Point taken but it still would reduce inventory cost and production cost.If they had one transmission which could they choose? Making auto only transmission would raising the price to about $9500 which would deter a lot buyers and investors. Having a standard transmission would keep the cost low, but lots of people are unwilling or unable to drive standard. The auto should be a big source of profit for Elio because it does not cost much more to make and they are charging $1000 for it.
