I just bought a Silver EX and I love it. The purchase was the most impulsive thing I've ever done. I saw an Element on the road. Went to the dealer to check it out and bought it on the spot. Because I was so impulsive, I really didn't do ANY homework. I have seen photos of a Siver EX with what appears to be BLUE plastic body panels. I have not seen this as an option on the Honda web-site and I have not heard anyone address this. Could it just be the way the photo was taken? or is this an option? The photo with the blue panels is so cool I'm going to be bummed if it was available. Anyone know the answer here?

The blue-panelled E in the phots isn't an available model, though you're not the first person who has wanted it to be.

That was the pre-production model used for many of the early reviews and marketing work, and a lot of people think it looks cool. But Honda only make grey panels (for DX models) and 'metalic' panels (for EX models) so you didn't miss out....
