Weird. I responded earlier that it weighs about as much as other hallucinations. Supposedly it will be 1,200 pounds.

From the retired brands mentioned, only Tucker seems to have got a lot of people's money for not selling anything.

I believe the Tucker had far more innovation than the Elio.

I'll save my money and make a body shell for the 50cc Honda scooter I got at a yard sale. If they were really smart they could partner with Polaris to build a crossover ATV and avoid the motorcycle designation.

In Facebook (Jalopnik) this morning: Elio only has $40K left. Glad I bought a "cheap Chinese 3-wheel scooter" in 2007, bought 2 new batteries, and am still riding it today. That Elio waiting-game does not look good.
