Does anyone know if the Element will ever come out in a 6 cyl. and without all the plastic???????

I doubt a 6-cyl will ever come out. The upside is the 4 has enough horses, that you really won't miss a 6. Unless, you miss MPGs in the teens! :-) A non-plastic panel model is more likely since Honda is already showing a painted side panel model at car shows. If you mean the interior as well, I hope not. Carpet is the worst idea car companies ever devised. It gets wet, mildews, and stains. If I wanted a living room on wheels, I'd get a Caddy!
