Elio Motors and Their Chances of Failure – podcast #47

In this podcast episode, Aaron hosts contributing Car News Cafe writer Curt Robbins and special guest Bob Sampson in a discussion about the state of Elio Motors and how likely it seems (or doesn’t seem) the little three-wheeled Elio tadpole will ever be produced.

Delays, more delays, and shaky finances plague the automotive startup and now we learn that even its engine is not yet ready for the public.  A series of articles here on Car News Cafe have chronicled the saga of Elio as it has progressed for the past couple of years. In the latest, Curt Robbins rounds up the latest information with Elio Motors: O Brother, Where Art Thou?

The long and short of it is that Elio is at a do-or-die crossroads and seems to have put most of its eggs into a single basket in hopes that it will find a golden egg. Will they?
