Just sayin', what they've accomplished with that amount of time, money, and effort is really, really underwhelming. A good engineer or two could do better.

Skip to seven and a half minutes in. They just talk until then.
Okay. They keep talking. I wanted to know what new information there was on the engine.

Okay, the nose is longer with a more graceful angle. The exhaust is shrouded along the right side rocker panel. The rear hatch is slightly different profile. The front wheel fairings are cleaner. The side mirrors are much better. They are showing it with the manual shift, which is the base model. It has got some sort of a tablet shown on the right side. The door handle looks clean.
It looks like it has more ground clearance - maybe it has the 15" wheels they mentioned? They look taller and narrower:

Listen for the perennial question (or sometimes more often than that) ... at the 8:58 mark
Nobody took me up on the 2015 production start up deadline wager... Possibly not because some have a hard time picking a winner, but rather they are more tuned into spotting things that aren't winning propositions... An easy bet to avoid I suppose. I missed it but should have taken up the bet by doclees 2 posts after this one of mine here:

I'm not a betting person, but if the Elio ships within 1 month of the Arcimoto and within $1000 of it's price, I'll be willing to say 'I told you so.'

Even a single-cylinder would be likely to suffice, plus it's cheaper, lighter and has fewer pumping losses and internal frictions. I still consider the engine of the Yamaha XT660 among the best ones for a vehicle conceptually similar to the Elio.
