I think it's a clever concept, but IMHO it wouldn't work with a tall vehicle like the Element. The "5th wheel" type tow arrangement a tow point that not only is within the wheelbase, but also very close to the center of gravity of the tow vehicle.
Even if it were just the tongue of the trailer extending over the roof, and if ignored the lateral strength of the upper body, I suspect that the effect of the high lateral applied load would dramatically increase the rollover tendency of an Element.
