The Elio is on display at the Greenwood Mall just south of Indianapolis this weekend. We went down last night to check it out. I have wanted one since I first saw them but since I had to sell the race car and the Starfire because I couldn't get in them without great discomfort I had reservations about putting down a deposit on something that appeared to be very small and low.
I was allowed to get in the car and I can say that in spite of how low it is it is easier to get in and out of than my Blazer or Suburban. Both my son and I were impressed with the engineering. As soon as we got home I put my $1000 deposit on one. Should be in line about 18,700. Delivery should be early 2018 unless this whole thing turns out to be a Tucker. I hope the doctors can keep me alive long enough to actually get it and have a few years to enjoy it.:laugh::laugh::laugh:
I might have to make a trip down to Louisiana to check out their production facility. It is being set up by the same company that has set up production lines for Chrysler, Fiat, and some European cars. They claim the recent stock offering brought in enough money that they can proceed without government money.
Forgot to mention, the body is made out of fiberglass--it won't rust.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
