Honda’s Element looks like a dumpster abandoned in the middle of the road-especially if it’s that khaki green color. It’s the sort of thing you’d want your neighborhood association to ban, like campers and boats. No one’s going to key this car because it’s already hideous.
Having said that, it looks incredibly practical and dog-friendly. That hatchback is like a giant maw-you could put anything back there and probably hose it out when you’re done. You could keep your back seats stored neatly out of the car so they don’t get destroyed by dog fur, slobber, claws, etc. It would also, once cleaned out, be a cool car for hauling quilting supplies. It also comes with standard transmission. Need I say more?
All signs point to a Honda Element replacing my little Audi in the next two years.
