If you can EOC with a tiptronic then I might accept it. But I have my doubts that would work.

Grrrrrrrrrr.
No sure where I saw the 7% but I did see that of cars sold less than 7% are manual. Elio is not trying to sell to the 7% or nitch buyers but to the masses. Having only one tranny option will save money.
