NO RAIN:(...HIGH HUMIDITY:eek:...BLAZING SUN:cool:...and HONDA ELEMENTS :huh:all over my town today! Gee, at last count, after a day of shopping for tools and supplies for my company I saw at least 16 Honda Elements while driving around just a portion of Dallas Texas. I mean they were everywhere I looked! I usually see a ton of ST's around town, but not today, it was a day for the Elements.... After a total of 75 miles of driving to and fro it got to be old looking around to see them here and there. I swear, I wasn't trying to count them, but after I saw three within a mile or so on the same stretch of highway I started to notice and it did not let up until I got home. Doesn't mean I like them enough to BUY ONE!
 
When they are all painted up and sitting on a nice set of wheels, they aren't too bad. Otherwise, not a huge fan of them.



I see more Infiniti's QX54's then Elements, and those things are ugly no matter what...someone needs to stop letting Nissan's SUV stylists access to crack.
 
I have never personally sat in an Element or even read a review but I think they look like pretty good utility vehicles maybe for small deliveries or something. Looks like they are boxy with a lot of open room inside.
 
A family of four just died in an Element vs semi accident a few days ago down the road in Burton, Ohio. The mom and dad were 31, the kids were 5 and 8 I think. It was awful.:(:(
 
I see there aren't many fans her for the "Helement"......:lol::lol: I still don't get the styling of some of the imports, especially the "truck" types, I mean if Toyo had done the ST (thank heavens they didn't!) I might have liked it, but the domestics are right on target with the looks that they put out there. Perhaps the BIG Three could become the Big ONE and slay a few rice burners with a combined effort. NOT LIKELY!
 
:)People died in the Space Shuttle... doesnt mean I wouldn't buy one and fly it... uh, wait.. nevermind...

Can't say I'm a fan. They're too boxy looking. Same goes for the Scion B model. They work for someone obviously, just not me.



Now, a Pontiac Solstice, that's something I'm interested in.

If I were in the market for a convertable Sports car, the Solstice or Saturn Sky would be top on my list. Both of those cars are just sexy as all get out.

Yes they are, Tom. My wife wants a Solstice. A black one would be nice. :cool:



IMO the Element and the Scion are both incredibly ugly. And I know ugly! :lol: I see it in the mirror every day.

 
You could trick out an Element and add all the mods in the world to it but it would still be butt ugly.
 
I'll be the odd man (as usual) I like the element, just about the only honda I can say that about. Definately not a great looking car, but imo better looking than the xB, and definately more functional which is a huge plus for me. The FWD is the one thing I wouldn't be able to compromise.
 
Add me to the list of Element likers... When I'm in the market to buy again, the Element and Scion xB will be high on my list. I like the amount of interior room these types of cars provide without a lot of exterior bulk.
 
Two words for the Scion and Element:



CLOWN CAR





Go to any circus, and inevidably you'll see clowns barreling out of one in the center ring.

The scion is funnier looking than clown shoes.
