Saw one of these on the way into work. Obviously a personal import, so set about finding out what I could about it. It's a Honda Element, apparently. I (mostly) like the look of it. Looks like the car that Land Rover wanted the Discovery to be, but didn't dare. Doubt it has any off-road ability at all though, not least because of those clam-shell doors! :eek:

Apparently taking the US by storm.......obviously no B pillar but also rubberised floor and all seat apparently can be folded up so you can hose out the sand after a days surfacing...man!

That looks awful :thumbdwn:

I think its more likely they wanted it to be like a Land Rover and failed miserably.

I suspect the front spoiler, side skirts and rear overhang would also be reshaped if you took it off road..... would be an improvement though

I like it. I think clamshell or suicide doors are cool. It's better looking than most identikit 4x4's that we see on our roads.

Funky.. like it...

Saw quite a few of them when I was in the US last December. Looks a lot nicer in the photo's than it does in the metal .

Gets my vote. Looks a little like the renault plastic bumper style has been merged with a land rover!
