Description

Honda says the Element combines the best traits of a pickup truck and a sport utility vehicle, and it retains the most striking feature of the Model X concept: a pillarless side-door configuration that yields maximum cargo-loading flexibility. Aimed directly at active young buyers, the square-rigged Element is intended to be what the automaker calls a combination ?dorm room-base camp,? with enough space for four passengers and all their gear. ?The Element is designed for those who surf, snowboard, mountain bike and do just about anything else,? said Tom Elliott, executive vice president of American Honda. ?Right now . . . there is no one vehicle that meets their needs.?
