"We’re not just creating a new vehicle," Elio said in a press release announcing that more than 10,000 people have already reserved the vehicle. "We’re creating an entirely new industry segment that appeals to people who want a low-cost, highly efficient mode of transportation, but still want to own a unique vehicle that will turn some heads. The Elio gives people the best of both worlds."
