What does everyone think about the new Element coming out soon? My dad wants to trade in our 94 Accord EX coupe for a small SUV, most likely the CRV, but I was wondering if the Element might make a fun, kinda weird alternative.

 

It's definetly...different. But it's more geared toward young adults. Go read some reviews of it online, you'll see what I mean. What exactly are you looking for in a car? Or your dad, I guess.

 

Well, he just wants a small SUV that could be used to haul stuff if we needed to instead of using the Oddyssey. So other than that, nothing specific. Figured the Element would be fun, different, and kinda cool for a Honda family to have.

 

Depends on your definition of fun. The CR-V is faster and will handle better, but the Element is alot more capable in rough terrain and is pretty cool. It's definelty alot more noticeable than the bland CR-V.

What exactly is wrong with the Odyssey for hauling stuff? Buy a freaking RSX or Accord Coupe with your 20 grand :thumbup:

 

Yea, it is more cool than the CRV. Um, we have a Teg Type R thanks to God, so another lil fun car isnt an option. But I guess we'll have to see. Regardless, if we get a Element, I'll make sure to put up some pictures.

 

I saw it yesterday at the Sacramento Auto Show.... I can see myself with one.

 

 

Wait a minute, did someone paintshop that blue one? The side moldings are supposed to be this weird black plastic or something.

 

Yeah...the side moldings are not actually black plastic, but some other composite material. It's pretty nice feeling and not bad looking.

 

stats? What motor is in these mo fo's?
