Elio has stated consistently that three items are must haves for this vehicle:

$6800 price
84 mpg highway
5 star safety rating

They are designing for those targets. They fully intend to make those targets. Those three items, combined in one vehicle, should make Elio a landmark in its field.

It's important to not add features not already promised on the Elio site to the wish list. These goodies are seen on cars costing 2.5x - 3x Elio's price and we've come to expect them but really, they're not necessary. And they will torpedo the project if Elio tries to deliver them.
