Elio Fuel Efficient Cars
-
I've been following Elio for a while. It seems like a great idea, the problem is that, as previously stated, under Federal Laws, it operates as a motorcycle. States have different guidelines for motorcycles, helmet laws, etc. I know that I had read on one web site that they are trying to get them classified as cars. I think it's a pretty great idea and to be honest, you can't beat that kind of price for something that you can drive all year round.
But this is the one I would rather get

The T-Rex is cool, but you're talking about apples to oranges here. Open vs closed (w/ AC and heat), and $50k+ vs $7k. One is clearly a summer toy that somewhat replaces a motorcycle, while the other is a sensible yet sporty all-season commuter. Personally (just my own take on it), if I were in a position and geographical location to consider/justify the T-Rex, I would buy an actual roadster and not a dressed-up 3-wheeled bike. Like I said, just my thoughts.
