Element

OK, is this just me, or Honda just decided it cant let GM win the ugliest car (or SUV) contest? Here it is the new Honda Aztek, sorry Element...

Same "selling arguments" as the Aztek, great space, functionality... blah blah take your friends... IT IS STILL UGLY, so ugly your friends would be embarrassed to ride with you.

Great, more people with ugly SUVs driving like crap......

C'mon, it's not even a good fad..... Suv's and on top of that, alot of the new one's can't even go offroad!

It's crap like this that makes me want a gas crisis to hit the states....At least I'll have more spending money than those chumps. hah

I abosultely hate the Aztek... One of the ugliest cars I've ever seen. IMHO, I don't buy a car for functionality, although even if I was going to buy a car to be functional or to go off-road there are better choices then either of those two. I personally want a car that at least looks half decent and is functional. And there are a lot of them that have both!

1st functionallity can kiss my [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] if it looks so ugly

3rd they handle and manuver like $hivt try avouding somethingon the road going fast and see what happens another overturned SUV (deth trap)

SUV's are generally non-functional as they are owned by suburban mom's and the most they ever carry is all her kids friends around, and their only purpose is to waste fossil fuels.

I don´t think functionality and design have to be contrary... Just look at the new CRV, pretty functional, small exterior but pretty big inside, and the outside looks good.

Our cars are another example, in my opinion, car maximizes interior space, gets pretty good gas mileage and has really good looks.

Kind of the same with the Hybrid. It is probably the first alternative to gas only cars that actually looks like a normal car.

Anyway, lets see how people take the new "Honda Aztek, sorry Element"

Element is one of those things that u either like or hate. I like it because it's unique. I haven't had a chance to check it out since it's coming to Canada in Jan 03.
