There are some sweet design cues i wish had made it out of this cept that i would love to see in out E's.

Lets start on the Interior:
I like this gage cluster better, but i don't like the idea of loosing the shelfs

Check out the front seat head rests:

No look at that center console.... Eek!
Here is another view:

MMM... nice isn't it? Lets look closer at the front end.

I love the grill and how simple the whole front end is.
Here is the back end:

Any one know where we could get a body kit like that? Check out that exhaust!

Well i just wanted to share that with you all!

Holy crap that thing is cool

I agree on the exhaust is crazy....maybs unsafe??
I also don't think that CENTER CONSOLE FROM HELL would be very safe in regards to blind spots and what not either....

But yeah, too cool
**....ooh, but no kudos on the floppy leather gearshift. I want the good ol' trackscut out of the dash.

What the heck is that monstrosity in the center of the front seats to the ceiling????:???: It would look ok otherwise (with non painted panels)...:cool:

What are those? Looks like more cubbies..

Looks like the seat belt is back on the door...:cool:
Sweet wheels...
I'm not sure about the black front grill behind the H...

What are those? Looks like more cubbies..

Looks like some craziness out of an H2 or Nissan Armada...any vehicle that practically creates separate rooms for all the occupants, doesn't need to be that big

Lol at the cubby holes... is it a hall closet??

The belts are still on the door because this was a concept from 2004.

The most I like are the rimms. And the front boday kit is also cool !

Are those LCD's above the front seats?

No shelves! :shock:

I'm not so sure about the center console either. I like the idea of it, not so much the look. It seperates the driver from the passenger too much. I'm not a chauffer.

Love the exhaust.

I do like the guages and the steering wheel.

That came from 04. It's been around on the net for some time. If they have not done it by now, Then it is no doubt a dead issue. I think it was the prototype for the SC !

I did like the front end, and the exhaust treatment.

That center console would have to go! Can you say Sawzall !

I dont know if anyone else noticed but the shift pattern on the knob show's that it is a six speed. However that is the same knob from the s2000. So maybe it is a six speed or maybe they didnt have a shift knob for picture day and borrowed one

Shelves that glow?

Shelves that glow?

I'd rather have shelves that hold stuff.

I kinda like the look of the center console "beam"- more storage is always nice. However, that thing's so thick it'd give a huge blindspot. Maybe a compromise would work- a center console beam that only goes up about halfway?

I also think it's funny that the front of the concept has lots of protection for the radiator grill. It's a shame that Honda, well, deliberately made the production model have a glaring weakness in the front. Seriously, I can't understand how they can keep making new Elements, changing details each year, and still leave a huge honkin' hole right in front of the radiator.

does anyone know if these are the same rims in the Element SC root beer concept? Are these rims available to purchase? I would love to have those rims on my SC!!!!!!

That concept doesn't do much for me. Though those headlights, tail lights, and brakes are nice.

If this was from 2004, this may have been used to design the SC.

The center thingy is too much and looks like it seriously blocks your view. Good call on the the "I'm not a chauffer" comment

If one looks at the evolution of the Civic and CRV you could project a next Element that might have some design cues similar to the Chevy Trax concept. You still maintain some boxy-ness but get a whole new style.

I have pics of it from the Chicago auto show a few years ago...Love the Color too!
