All over the East Coast and North East.. St Louis is the closest one I see to TEXAS on Autotrader.... Are they illegal West of the Mississippi?

I will never understand the Honda system of Vehicle allocation!!!!!!!!!

I think it has a lot more to do with what the dealer orders not what Honda allocates.

You might go to Edmunds new cars, pick the element & start plaing with zip codes and do inventory searchs to see if you can find something. Good luck.

when I picked up my SC about a month ago there were plenty of Manual's check Dick Brooks Honda they are in South Carolina.

Have they moved South Carolina when I wasn't looking? I always thought it was east of St Louis.

So if I head "West" from Texas......S Carolina is about 24,000 miles and then a bit to the Right?

Thanks ...not looking as I had a 09 Manual Element on order since LAST YEAR!

Honda could not....WOULD NOT build that car and ship to Texas due the manuals all being "alloted" to the East Coast so they could sit unsold like the two you spotted.

I bought a CR-V a few months ago as I and the dealer both got sick of Honda's allocation system that CAN NOT be voided even for a "sold" unit.

It was for the Wife...she wanted Element/Manual tranny.... But if we HAD to have an automatic the CR-V was OK with her.

Maybe my 'next' car will be a 6speed Manual Element Diesel! Say..about 2012 or so?

The THREE I posted are in California, that is WEST of St Louis last time I checked. You asked if there are manual E's west of St Louis, there are. Why
did you ask a question that you didnt want the answer to???

Ha. Ha. Ha.

I did want to know if Elements were west of the Miss now. Yes that was my original question. Thanks!

Never said I wanted to Go to CALIFORNIA and buy one....or buy one PERIOD!

I wondered if they would ever send one out west....I waited months before giving up.
