I would rock one. I saw one the other day w/ all the factory options on it. Lowered on what appeared to be 18s not chrome blingblings or RiceRims..and it actually looked good
It looks better than the Toyota Xb thing...lol..my .02

i think it's an awesome vehicle for practicality issues. it definitely fits a certain lifestyle. would i rock one? hell yeah i would. would i pay for it.... there's the question. i don't know if i could ever actually draw myself to seriously buying one. it's not that i don't like it, it's just that i would rather spend my money on something else. maybe a few years down the road when there's a lot more used ones out. if i find one for the right price and it's 4wd.... i'm all over it. i just don't think i could buy one brand new.
p.s. i like the scion xb

I would almost consider getting one to tow my CRX around. I know it's not a real truck but it should tow a CRX fine. Of course, I could just pick up a used Pilot too.....

I think a used Pilot would cost more than an Element, don't they go for like $10k more? I test drove an Element, it was decent... very spacious. I would've got it, but my wife kept buggin' that it was a '4-seater'. I didn't notice the seats, except that they fold up and there was a lot of leg room.

ok, heres the deal on the element also known as the "E" in the element community.

ive been sellling honda for two years now and i love the element. i think it is one of the most uniquie vehilces this market has seen. the outside of the car takes alittle getting use to. the more u see it the more u begin to love it. its very different so it may come across as ugly at first but it grows on you ver quickly.

the interior is awsome... if u have a need for it.
its got NO carpet-waterproof seats-sunroof in the back-factory subwoofer with 270 watts- and seats that can do 60 different positions.

its got a realtime 4 wheel drive, u never turn it on or off.

my dad bought one back in january and he loves it. they take it to corolla NC and it does VERY well.

for anyone that knows my dad, they know hes alittle nuts and the element works out perfect. he has taken it through 3 feet of mud with ease! he puts his yamaha dirtbike in the back with no problem.

if u ever want to come and see one, test drive one without being hassled just let me know.
