Elio Motors‘ new Elio (eel-ee-oh) innovation machine (that’s what I’m calling it) has my attention.
First, it’s cool looking…Actually, forget about cool for a minute.
If you can.
This 84 mpg, 3-wheel, grocery-carting, made in the USA, passenger-hauling bad-boy costs less than some CEOs’ watches—$6,800. Heck, my last tank of gas cost almost that much.
OK, mild exaggeration, but I make my point.
Elio has 3 air bags, AC, power windows and locks and if you’re smaller than an NFL player, you and your stuff are bound to fit, comfortably, behind the wheel.
Since zero people in the world think fuel is getting cheaper in their lifetimes, we have to—as entrepreneurs and as consumers—innovate our way out of it. That’s Elio’s mojo.
And I love it.
Now for cool. With progressive styling, an expected 5-star safety rating, 7 bad-a** colors, fun and function are tooling down the road and blasting off the on-ramp in one smart and fun package.
Gas never getting cheaper? Innovate.
Spend most of your time driving alone or with groceries? Travel smarter.
Most of our lives are spent within about 20 miles of our front doors. Who ya gonna call?
FUN-ctional.
