FWD is standard, AWD is optional, just like the CR-V.

No that's the prototype unfortunately. The second one had the body panels painted, I think looks pretty good like that.

I like it in the burnt orange color and I like the green. The other colors don't seem to work for me - especially not yellow. I find that one with the fender's and quarter panels painted to be quite interesting. All in all, it's a very useful vehicle - the styling could use a retouch in the nose, but overall a good package and they seem to be selling very well here in SoCal. An Asstek it is not.

Re: (USER)

There should be an option to get all of the plastic painted body color--i think that was a big improvement. For a second car, I'd seriously look at one. Hate boxy rides? Enjoy:

I have started get used to Element's styling. Its interior is a marvelous combination of practicality and quality. My girlfriend told me its a popular vehicle for the fishing crowd because of the washable interior.

Seems more gimmicky than practical...It kinda has too much headroom, it looks goofy when people are driving and there's a foot from the top of their head to the ceiling. Also, the back seat access would annoy me. You have to undo your seat belt and open the front door to let someone in/out. That would suck if you had kids.

I feel sorry for Honda that most of their customer base consists of complete morons. http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif
