Elio is $240 million short on funding and having difficulty finding an investor or investors.

Is America ready for a small car like that?

As more than a niche market? No. But we have seen way more small cars like Honda Fits succeeding in the U.S. as mass market vehicles.

>America

At $7k with A/C, auto, & >75mpg ...maybe. $2.25 gas is going to hurt their efforts bigtime, though.

FWIW, This thing looks strikingly like the "car version" (sans wings) of the (supposedely forthcoming) Terrafugia flying car.

They indicate that it’s going to be able to be flat towable.


>> Hello!
>> Yes, Elio owners will be able to flat tow their vehicle although the details of how this will work our currently being finalized on our end. This might entail reverse towing the vehicle! >>We have several ideas on how this will work best, and we will be prepared to share these details with our future Elio Motors customers in advance of production time next summer, so >>please stay tuned into our website in the meanwhile! Thanks so much for your time and question.

Actually Paul,

It looks most like a smoothed out 1955 Messerschmitt.
