I think over $15,000 would be too much, though, there are several economy cars that seat 5 and get ~40MPG for that much.
BBut with the CanAm there is no such compromises to comfort or MPG as with the Elio, since the CanAm is more oriented as a toy than as a commuter. Anyway, the Elio looks basically more like a subcompact with 25% less wheels than the CanAm which is more like a motorcycle with 50% more wheels
