Duchess,
A friend of mine had a lotus europa years ago and it was small too. But when we were in it, it was so nimble and responsive there was a feeling that we could avoid any thing that may develop. Granted we could be sitting at a red light and be rear ended and killed, but we tried not to give that a thought. This Elio will get 84 mpg and have safety features the Lotus did not. I too am cautioned by its vulnerabilities but I am still intrigued by its looks and maneuverability. I won't know just how I will feel until I test drive it.
