Give me a tl;dr rundown of the Elio '84mpg'

Give me a tl;dr rundown of the Elio '84mpg'.

I already dislike the SUV/truck sized blind spots on the 10 and 2 o clock, the roll bars (if they are) are fricken huge there. I bet it sucks on ice too.

It exists now? :o

no

aww

In addition to that:
- The three wheel design would make it impossible to avoid potholes. This is a big issue in actual regular commuting, especially with our crumbling infastructure.
- It's basically vaporware, and is never being made
- If it ever was made, it would immediately have a reputation as an ultra gay non-car owned by financially retarded city hipsters who buy a new car to "save money" spending a little less on gas vs. a much cheaper used car.

>ultra gay

nuh uh

>vs. a much cheaper used car.

Elio said it would pass all modern safety standards. A used car under $7,300 probably wouldn't.

1L 3cyl city cars already get ~80 MPG, what's the point of this thing? And they seat 4 people, and don't look retarded.

volvo

I doubt it would pass the small overlap test.

>Modern safety standards

Which don't account for size or weight. This thing is a death trap for the same reason a Smart Car is. A 2001 Ford Explorer will send you flying so far into the air in the other direction no amount of "safety cell" will save your internal organs ripping apart from each other and the interior walls of your chest cavity from the g-forces. A 2001 Accord however, might give you a broken leg from cabin intrusion, but will be much less likely to be fatal.
