from these pictures, the new orange looks just like my tangerine, ill have to see one in person. not liking the interior, way too light, the titanium interior in mine gets dirty enough as it is.

I was looking at the honda site and that cooler intrudes into te rear foot well kinda far. and the cooler is kinda small.

the over head bin is gone and replaced with a caravan looking one boo hiss.

and the tempature readout is in the dashboard, no adding that to the older ones:shock:

just saying

I like it if somthing happened to mine I would get a new one but I am happy with mine.

Now that Honda officially released the 09, can they PLEASE buy the ad space at the top of the forum for the 09 E? I am sick of seeing the stupid Ford Flex ad everytime I log on :rolleyes: I know Honda has more google ad money than ford, especially now...:cool:

'09 Element Fender



According to the Honda Web Site, they all are painted now. I just got a '09 EX 4wd Nav OMM and the rear qtr’s seem to be the same plastic, but the front fenders are different. I’ll check to see if a magnet sticks. Rick

Holy Hospital-like interior, batman!

T Mac...This certainly scores one for Issac in Honda Marketing. The only thing that he would commit to us back in July, at the Honda US Open of Surfing, was that there was definitely going to be a 2009 Element! ;-)

The new 09

Yes, I read somewhere that the 09 now has metal fender panels in the front only. Also heard that they are no longer offering Elements with unpainted fenders. They also changed the shape of the arch over the wheel and made the hood more horizontal. I don't like that different color strip on the back. What is up with that? Don't like the light-colored interior walls either I would think they would probably get stained with scuff marks. I was bummed when I originally hears the E was coming out with a refrigerator. But I don't see much benefit to that cooler other than an armrest, which we already have, and it looks like it would just get in the way in the back. Glad I bought an 08.

Actually all that info has been discuss here for a while, long before any other
site I may add. In Fact our site had pics long before Honda officially release
them. But we're not bragging.:D
Yes the silver garnish looks out of place, but shouldn't be a big deal to
paint it body color or black. Let the mod's begin.

For something that was supposed to be a FMC (full model change) it sure doesn't look all that different! I'll have to see one in person to note the changes. I believe we are set to get one in our dealership soon, they are on rail, so on their way!! WOOT!

There was talk that they were actually going to discontinue the E, hopefully not! WAAH!

Where is the parking brake? Or do you just shove the cooler under the wheels? Still, no diesel no buy. I'll keep my original E and stay out of debt.

From that angle, the front end looks much better than I thought, I like the color too. I will buy it when it gets a diesel.

Looks like only the SC has a fog light option?.... strange

I saw a 2009 today at Ken Dixon Honda (Waldorf, MD). They said it just came in last night. It was silver with a lot of sparklies in the paint. The dealer info paper said is was ASM (???). It was okay. I don't like the front grille. The salesperson said she thought it was a new Pilot sitting out there because of the grille.

The console is really long.
