: Where are they all?

I don't get it - over 15,000 Elements sold - 4th largest city in the US - I've only seen two on the road. One in February and one in March. Where are they?

Space-E, I know you're around this area, but I just don't make it that far south. Maybe that's it? Nobody in NW or W of Houston buys them?

Would love to see another on my ordinary routes.

I feel your pain. Here in OKC (pop 700K), I passed one and got behind one and these events didn't happen until i had mine 10 weeks!!!

I think alot of them are here in So Cal. I have seen so many now that I have stopped counting. I probably seen about 20 myself and I only visit a small portion of Los Angeles. People around here are always buying new cars.

I have only seen 3 here in St. Louis.

I spotted two the day before I bought my E....and then I saw one tonight at the Wallmart of all places! The two I saw over a week ago were Shoreline Mist and Silver....tonight I saw my E's twin...another Eternal Blue Pearl.

No other spottings to report....I know my dealer had sold several in the course of the 2+ weeks that we were dealing with them....at least 2 GG, 2 Black, 1 SOP, and I think 1SLM.....but still haven't seen any on a regular basis.

NY/NJ metro area. I've seen 6 or 7 Elements already. The dealer where I bought my Element must have 10 new Elements now on his lot.

I'll be up in Chicago Easter Weekend with my EBP :)

I really miss Chicago (lived there for 4 years).....be we are here in St. Louis now, but we visit Chicago VERY often! I wish I had had my E when we lived in Lincoln Park.

I haven't seen many in the wild either. I saw a blue and a black in the same day back in mid-February. I parked next to another blue one in late-March. And I've passed a Shoreline Mist going the opposite direction twice in the last week or so when I was heading home from work. I know that there are a lot more out there though. The automall gets about 6 Elements a week and they are sold before they can get the plastic skinning off of them! And I still haven't seen an SOP after bouncing around 4 different dealers lots since January.

I've only seen one SLM coming from the opposite direction about three weeks ago. A buddy of mine said he saw a GG on the road.

I finally did see a SOP at the dealership last night when I picked up my GG E. Have to admit it does look pretty cool (both SOP and GG) 8)

Saw two more Elements today.....another Blue one on my way out of my complex and a GG at the same car wash I went to!

Two new ones have moved into my neighborhood, a black DX and an SOP EX.

I hope we don't go through that phase of bemoaning the success of the E and a feeling of loss as our exclusivity and early adopter coolness gives way to the lemmings who follow in our wake...

peace,

I have seen about 15 in the Bay Area (5 at the local Honda Dealers :wink: ) One good place to look is at Ocean Beach where the E was meant to be :!: :D
