The first-generation CX-7 from the 2007-2012 model years was akin to a Mazdaspeed3 for grown-ups, thanks to its potent turbo engine option. The fact that lots of people are turning to SUVs isn't new, which is why I think a reborn Mazda CX-7 can make a lot of sense. What more reason do you need to bring this back, Honda? In 2019? That's jumped to 63%, according to the American Pet Products Association. Back in 2011, 46% of US households had at least one dog. To that end, Honda even offered a "Dog Friendly" model including a ramp, water bowl and integrated kennel. The way the seats folded up and the doors opened wide made this the vehicle for lovers of big dogs.
Why? Well, crossovers are bigger than ever, and while the Element blurred the lines between a crossover SUV and an MPV, today's crossovers are so thoroughly boring that a new, similarly quirky Element would stand out.īut the Element's most attractive feature wasn't its slab-sided styling, it was the configurability and cleanability of its interior. For 2020, I think it's time for a comeback. But by the time it was put out to pasture in 2011, annual sales had dropped to around 14,000. Initial sales for the Element were strong, nearly moving 80,000 units in 2003, its first full year of availability. Why? Because they can't go buy a new one. And all those people I know who own a Honda Element are mad at Honda. It's just the right blend of practical and quirky, somehow offering way more usability and charm in its demure box shape than nearly any modern crossover on the market.
I know a few people who still own or have previously owned a Honda Element.
