OK, I'll join the game.

It's a '13 Hyundai Genesis Coupe, Grand Touring Edition.
The specs are ridiculous, with a 3.8 V6 liter engine making 340+ hp. With a 8-speed transmission and paddle shifters, it does 0-60 in less than 5.5 seconds.

But man, is this car fast. It doesn't matter how fast you're already going, there's always plenty more power to accelerate further. And it's the first car I've ever had in which I have to actually be careful leaving a stoplight so I don't spin the tires.

I wish you long clear stretches of road, without speed-traps :D

This is my 1997 Toyota RAV4L which I purchased for my Basset hound, Fred on August 8, 1997.
It has since passed on to Fred II and now Fred III.
I have never kept a car this long before but since I drive only a little less than 100 miles a month it is silly to even think about replacing it. It still looks and runs like a new car.Show us a picture of your.. CAR!!!

Oh yeah, I'm ALL IN with the non-refundable $1000. Now for the hard part, waiting for it to come off the assembly-line..... :D

The only two things I still have to research are the maintenance/parts and acceleration. If they're in high demand and your car needs a part... are you going to be able to get it? Are there going to be mechanics certified to work on it, or how easy/hard is it to work on? Especially with those exposed wheel mounts. And they mention top speed... but not acceleration...

Anyone who paid/reserved for an Elio car... Have they given you any updates? 2014 came and went as AFAIK nobody has gotten an Elio 2014 model. Are they releasing this year for sure? Next year? Or is it vaporware?

Yes, I reserved, and yes, it's still on. Some of the development has taken longer- understandable as they're the first startup to make their own engine in 60 years. But the date has been pushed back to early 2016. And it's definitely not vaporware, as they're in testing and going to trade shows and such all the time with the cars.

And now?
They're still posting stuff on their blog, but I don't see any easy to find details about the planned release date.
wraith808:
It's still taking longer, but they're better funded now from a crowd funded stock offering, so it looks even better. They've stopped giving dates, and instead been giving more detailed updates into the process, to show movement towards the finish line.

They are planning to sell 100 preproduction units this year, to deliver next year.

Taking this long I hope they have quality dialed in nice and tight or it could be a really short dance.
