Interesting! the description sounds expensive though..

 

[Snick]

mmmmmm, has one too many wheels. Otherwise not too shabby.

This better be for real, don't care if it is expensive, it will make this type of design more acceptable to the public.

Toyota and VW build autos in their USA manufacturing plants along with providing dealerships that provide sales and servicing jobs. They have invested Billions in the USA. VW owns the controlling share in the company (IAV) that designed, built, and tested the Elio engine. I see nothing wrong with a little foreign influence when it comes to autos. I do look for made in the USA before I buy any product.
