The Elio may look strange. But take a good look and get used to it, because if reservations are any indication, the oddball vehicle is going to be a fixture on the highway after its expected release in late 2015.

Elio is convinced that the vehicles, being manufactured in a former GM plant, will eventually win the hearts of Americans like the VW Beetle once did.
