I heard the exhaust will have kazoo like qualities, what else would you expect from a squirrel cage engine.
But then again what exhaust? What engine? What car? Where's mine?

Small engines don't have to sound like a kazoo... my Abarth only has a 1.4 liter engine, but it sounds pretty mean. YouTube 500 Abarth exhaust to hear it.

If the exhaust sounds like a kazoo, then give each cylinder its own pipe so the kazoos are at least singing in three part harmony.

I just noticed this from the Elio fact sheet:

"Targeted 84 MPG Highway / 49 MPG City"

I don't recall the 49 mpg city being there before. 66 mpg overall for 50/50 driving is awesome, but can anyone confirm if the fact page was recently updated or if that has been there all along?
