How many suppliers could build 50k+ engines a year for them? Not very many, I think. I know they intended to use a Metro engine originally, but there wasn't enough production capacity... so they would have to build new tooling from scratch.

Since they had to produce new tooling anyway, they decided to go ahead and build a specialized engine. Smart move, in my opinion-- but the delay really sucks. I want my Elio now.
