Honda just debuted the Honda Element SC prototype, a.k.a. the "Urban Element" at NY. It will be in showrooms this fall.
The important stuff:
⢠New front and rear styling
⢠Aero design features
⢠3" lower
⢠21" cast aluminum wheels
⢠Interior upgrades
⢠2.4 L horsepower raised to 166

So it got the 10hp bump that the Accord 4 cyl got.
Headlights look good, I like those. But otherwise they took a lot of the character out of the Element. Those huge wheels will never make production, too.

I think I like my 05 better.

I like the increase in hp but one big problem for me was the functional issues with the suicide doors. This is odd. It's like they're trying to beat the Scion but the Element was more about rugged than urban I thought.
