Didn’t some Jalopnik writer drive something like that in the basement of a convention center?

This is terrible.
As for the Elio, I’m hoping they actually pull through and make it a real, productive business...would make a great commuter car, it’s innovative, it’s safe enough (if the crash tests hold out as Elio predicts). I don’t mind the look of them either...time will tell, but it would be great to see a new player in mainstream “street vehicles” rather than a new super car startup! :)

I was t sure if it was the exact car. However it would be strange if there were two very similar cars like that.
