Is this redesign? Or a mid-cycle refresh?

facelift... looks much better now

Never liked the first one and this freshened one doesn't look any better to me. Its still hideous.

I'd still not buy it - it's a useless mix of utility and hipster loudmouth treehugger design. :D

But it looks better than the last one.

M.

I like the look of the first pic... :thumbup:

Dont like it the original looks better.

The SC looks better and the interior is given a much needed upgrade. Looks very Japanese

It looks nicer than the current model. I used to like the Element until I sat in one. Felt like a Tupperware box.

It's still a very stupid looking vehicle.

It still looks like an Element :thumbdn:

lol...honduh is restyling the element to compete with the bX, problem is the price....absurdly high for something targeted at teens and young adults..

Personally, I wish the Element, xB, and all those small boxy cars would just die and go away. They all look like crap. Sure, they sell well but man are they ugly. :p

They sell for a reason.....versatility. The square bodies may not look chic, but they are space-efficient, and the Element's AWD will get you through the, well......elements.

mmhmm... In Japan where the streets are narrow, these boxes rule with compact dimensions and ridiculously large cargo carrying capacity (by that, we meet speakers and a mobile DJ set lol)

I thought it was going to be a picture of an empty box on top of a skateboard... :egads:
