I was in the butt-ugly Honda Element. It is the Helen Thomas of SUVs. The event had hybrids, electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, and those qualifying as low-emission vehicles. I was with a great driver who got superior gas mileage by dead sticking it at certain times and shutting off the engine.

Just another reason to get a stickshift.

Thank you I've been looking for the perfect description for that thing.

I think you've found the emotion of what looking at it brings to someone with any taste at all.

We got passed by a Honda Element on the way home from church today (my wife was driving). My first thought was how truly ugly that vehicle is. My second thought was that maybe I can pick one up cheap in a couple of years to deliver mail out of.
