The 2008 Honda Element. If it's adventure you're
looking for, you'll find it faster in an Element.
The Honda Element says adventure. From the smooth handling
of its rigid unibody frame to the interior versatility of
more than 60 different seating configurations – the
Element is ready for anything. It starts with the powerful
yet exceptionally fuel-efficient 2.4-litre i-VTEC® 4-cylinder
engine and 166 horsepower. It continues with the available
Real Time™ 4-wheel drive system with 20% more rear torque
than before and compact 4-wheel independent suspension with
rear stabilizer bars. And as a low emissions vehicle with
a Tier 2 Bin 5 rating, every getaway is a clean one.
