I agree that the odds Elio will ever make it to market look really poor.

With fuel prices being low I'm sure the market for vehicles like the Elio is pretty weak and with the advancements that are being made with electric vehicles it's unlikely people will look to a vehicle like the Elio if fuel prices start to climb in the future.

That said I do think there's a market for really small vehicles that are cheap and easy to park. My Dad lives in a retirement community and it always amazes me to see how many people use their golf cart as their primary mode of transportation and it's not uncommon to hear that someone paid $8,000+ for a new golf cart.
