We need to remember that the $6,800 price is for the manual 5-speed. This is the USA - what is the typical ratio of manual-to-automatic shift cars are typically sold?

We do not know the price of the Elio with an automatic transmission. It may well be $1,000+ more than the base car. I think the manual shift is the loss leader. They will more than offset it with greater numbers of automatics.
