It's an SUV
An SUV? This thing is the size of a van. No wonder they didn't get to Europe, it seems to be one of these oversized American cars.
It's roughly the same size as a Volkswagen T-Roc (one of 2024's top-selling cars in Europe).
The Element is smaller than an average car, lengthwise, and has more storage capacity with the seats out than most vehicles twice its size. Which is one among some different reasons why it's the best.
No, it's a toaster! (I was gonna link the brave little toaster but figured that was taking it a little too far past sarcasm lmao)
We call them Chelsea tractors here.
Nope, it's a CUV, or "Crossover SUV", it has SUV in the name, but it is quite different. Has more in common with a hatchback than an SUV.
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+long+is+a+car says average 14.7 feet, 13.9 for compact cars or up to 15.7 for a full size car.
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+long+is+a+honda+element says 169 inches, which is 14.1 feet
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+long+is+an+suv says typically 15 to 17 feet
I rest my case, I don't care what the manufacturer says. The Element is a little container of wonders, it is no car and no SUV.
(I think "SUV" used to have a different meaning which probably applied pretty well to what the Element is, but in the modern day in common parlance it means a massive mini-truck with an enclosed back section which certainly does not apply here, that was more my point.)
It’s not a car?
Don't ask me for consistency, it's Sunday
