... while designing a brand new engine from scratch when there are many perfectly good engines already available. Even companies that already have factories (and dealerships and customers, etc) don't design engines from scratch any more than they absolutely have to. And when they do, they don't do it for just one car.

The Elio was very popular here. That's why Paul Elio is not.
