When it was first shown as a concept car in 2001 nobody dreamed Honda would be brave enough to bring it into production so quickly and certainly no one thought it would be sold in the U.S. The new Honda Element is one funky looking car. A loaded EX model with automatic transmission and AWD will top the price range at around $21,500. Honda expects many young buyers to opt for this model, as they will want to install their own stereo system and customize the vehicle.ĮX (about $20,510) adds numerous extras such as air conditioning, alloy wheels, anti-lock brakes, cruise control, power mirrors, stereo sound system and other features.Īutomatic transmission adds about $800 to the base price of each trim level while all-wheel drive adds about $1200 to the cost. ![]() It's really a starting point, however, as it does not even come standard with a radio or air conditioning.

Honda has really gone out on a limb with the Element. However, pizzazz and style are important ingredients if you're one of those looking for something different. Honda is known for conservative styling, which is not a bad thing for the majority of people who are only looking for reliable and functional transportation. The Honda Element is one of those vehicles that elicits that great question: What's that? Some people hate the thought of driving a car that's the center of attention, but others find that's part of the thrill of owning a car that's different from other vehicles on the road. ![]()
