I believe we had a thread on this in the old forum. Thought I would revive the chat..
The unveiling of the P5 is taking place today in Los Angeles. The P5 has the specially built Elio engine because they creator could not find an engine that would give the Elio the 84 MPG he requires in is 5 MUSTS.
Another update is the SEC is about to approve them for 25M public investing so people with reserves or in their contact list were notified first and will be notified when that window to invest opens. They are starting with $12.00 stock minimum purchase 50 shares for a total of $600.00 minimum to invest. They wanted to make the investment option available to anyone.
All these are indicators this vehicle will make it to production. The last projected manufacturing start was spring 2016 with the first vehicle delivery in August.
Got any pickup trucks? Jesus drives a pickup ya know!
His chariot is made up on thousands of angels... and their
formation looks like a pickup truck, cause Jesus is a tough guy
He probably wears cowboy sandals too
I thought He drove a Porsche? but now that you mention it....He would be more of a pickup kind of guy I think..
You can install a tow pkg and add one of those motor cycle pull behinds for your stuff....it does have a back seat...
You can get it with a Bose system..a skylight...the seats are made by Boeing I think? it's actually quite roomy..I sat in one of the earlier prototypes..have to upload that PIC..

Yes..it's creator Paul Elio stated he saw a real need for a quality affordable and economical vehicle for a large # of working Americans..so from the beginning he held that price...A two seated, safe economical vehicle...I you go to that website and click on gallery and watch the latest video he answers questions and unveils the Prototype 5...next they begin to build models for crash safety testing.
PS..the super sound system and skylight and other fancy things are options.
Well, ya better get some good life insurance to go with it... a side impact collision would smush a brutha
This thing won't catch on in the US anytime soon... it's too small.
There are other 3 wheel cars on the market and they aren't selling very well at all in the US.
American like big vehicles... since many of us are fat, so a big vehicle is needed.
It was meant to be small, most cars on the road have no passengers and they're thinking economics, its gas mileage is a super 84mpg. Do you like motorcycles? Think of it as an enclosed motorcycle.
