:idea:

Why do you suppose that Honda dosen't distiguish the 4WD model with a badge of somekind? There are two ways you can tell a 4WD from a 2WD. Look under it for a driveshaft, or look on the roof for a sunroof, if you have an EX model. When driving it, I cannot tell if and when it goes into 4WD. When it comes time to sell someday (never I hope) it would be nice to have a small badge, like Honda puts on the CRV, that says "Realtime 4WD". I would also like to see a small light on the dash, that would indicate when the back wheels were being driven. I wonder why Honda badges other models, with this extra cost feature, but not the Element? Any dealer insites would be interesting! :?:

Iskie,

It would be cool to see some custom ELs. Only done right.

Iskie that link was hysterical!!! Yeah that kinda stuff drives me nuts, or makes me crack up depending on the day really!

Yeah a custom Element is fine as long as IT IS DONE RIGHT, and that site shows you all the things NOT to do! Thank you so much, that was a hoot!

I dread seeing one of those ridiculous rear wings/spoilers on a "E". I saw one on a civic hatchback last week .... what a horrible sight.

those rear spoilers that are like 2 foot or so above the vehicle look like handles to me.. totally ridiculous looking!

I think we have the right to shoot anyone who does that to the Element!

Elemental Tom -

H and A has put up a "4WD" emblem on their site. It ALMOST looks like it belongs there! Slightly gaudy, IMHO
