The Element is great. Kudos for buidling it.
But at over 20 lbs per horspower, the Element needs a bit more power. I know originally, the target was the young twenties male, but as you have seen the baby boomers have also taken a liking to it. We have more disposable cash and I think we would line up for a 3.0 liter engine option --- just like the Accord (Their V-6 comes to mind).
Another way to go is 5 cylinder (like Audi and GM) with the same cylinder displacement of your 2.4 / 3.5 engines.
