What does someone (honestly) say when they see your E?

Nice Car!
NIce Truck!
What is that?
Sorry, man - really ugly.
That's not ugly it's cool/cute.

I haven't really had any direct compliments or insults. People have stopped me (gas station, car wash, Whole Foods, B & B) to ask me about the Element. Mostly they were thinking about getting a new car, thinking about buying an Element, hated their CR-V, and many were curious to see the inside. One person told me they always wanted to ride in an E. I felt it was a hint but I don't give rides to total strangers.

I've had several people ask about my Element. Most have no idea what it is but like it.

I get more, 'wow, what is it?' than really anything, but mostly, by the time I'm done showing it to them, I get 'wow, that's cool!' :razz:

I've even had a few notice the matching toenail polish. ;-)

E On!

I still have people come up and say "what is that?"

But I see more and more of these on the roads everyday.

Personally I call it a truck, but I have a car of my own and a minivan so truck just fits...

My boyfriend ( the owner) has always called it a car but has started calling it a truck too...

the guys in my car club just point and laugh and either call it a toaster or a lego so I guess it's up to you... I can get more in it then my car so to me it's a truck.

Its a trucklet.

Most people, upon seeing it, asked if I got another box that holds my dignity, as well. I launch into a spiel about it being more economical than a body on frame SUV and less middle-aged than an minivan, and in the end, they ask me where the box that holds my dignity is. :)
