I think the only highly-efficient "production" cars have been the Gen1 Insight and the XL1.

Everyone else makes compromises.

It's interesting that the same company put out two vehicles that look so similar, but are so different. A shame they couldn't decide whether to make it fast or efficient, and settled on neither. I bet it would sell much better if they would pick one.

It seems like Elio is doing much compromising and settling. I hope the trike makes it to production and Ecomodders are able to purchase them. Their work looks good, they just move far too slowly for me to have much confidence--just fast enough for us to hold out hope.

EPA? What do Ecomodders do to EPA ratings?
