No comparison Morgan to Elio. Morgan - hand built buy British craftsmen making about 1000 or less a year. Elio has a production goal of 250k the first year. Realistic, not realistic I don't know. Assembly line with as many "off the shelf" parts as possible. Just no comparison to a Morgan.

I don't know finances. My accounting consists of "what's in my pocket today". I can't second guess the guys with the MBA's and suits. What I do know is that if they can run these off the assembly line for $6800, finished or a kit, I'm buying one. If they build it as advertised with non proprietary parts then you can fix it and run it forever even if they go belly up. 50 - 60 - 70-80 or 100mpgs wouldn't matter to me.
