Here we go again!
There's all kinds of phony or wishful thinking articles about a "new" Element out there! But they are just click bait.
Honda sells way more CRV's than they ever sold Elements (around here, FL, the ratio would appear to be about 10 - 12 to 1), and that is the car of that basic size that Honda has chosen to run with. When the Element was discontinued in 2011, Honda felt as if they were mostly competing with themselves!
It's nice to dream a little, but it's just not happening! : - (
Even if Honda does come up with a new vehicle called the "Element", it would be dramatically different from the one we know and love.
