The "P-6" version will be powered by an E-cat...
Vapor powered, vaporware.... Grin

Coming in late 2017?... Huh

Meanwhile,... I've been getting 40+mpg in town, in a 1L 3cyl. 95' Geo Metro that I paid $1500 for 10 years ago...
... replaced battery twice, 1 alternator, 1 timing belt, 1 cv joint, 1 muffler, 4 tires... less than $750 repair/ maintenance in a decade... DIY of course.
... Elio's new motor design?... Big mistake....
Suzuki made it right the first time....

Biggest problem with the metro, they stopped making it
I pissed my brother in law off when he was bragging about his hybrid Honda getting 50 MPG
"Yup, and it only cost 40K my $500 Cavalier gets 40 for 1/1000th the price Grin

Yeah... the wife is ready now , we can't wait another two years. So this weekend or next we are car shopping for her.
The design team for the elio has a great idea, but they must not have a mechanic among them.
I realize it is the prototype with the engine they created in it. But man, do not give it to a news crew for a "live" test ride, if it isn't in top production shape.
And downtown? wow... did the Elio guys realize the thing was going to be driven on the worst city streets ever?
ROFL....... what a way to loose future customers and give fuel to the naysayers

VERY poor judgement on whoever let the PR guy do that.
