#386 of 425 Yup by paisan Jun 05, 2003 (10:16 am)
Cause americans buy names, not products. Image is everything to us.   -mike
#388 of 425 Element by sdc2 Jun 05, 2003 (2:47 pm)
I actually kinda like the Element (headroom rules!), but with that wimpy engine (same as the CRV) I wouldn't buy one. The CRV is only rated at 1000 pounds towing, so I doubt the Element is rated for much more.

Only has 650 or 680lbs of capacity for cargo + passengers. That's not a whole lot! That's about 3 paisanos w/o gear.   -mike
#390 of 425 ELEMENT by raydahs Jun 06, 2003 (6:23 am)
The more I see in town the better I like it, so one day I stopped in to look at it. It has some very good features and some not so good. IMO it's about $4k too much for what you get.   Off topic - just curious, in your area do you guys see many H2 Hummers? I see so many out here in S.D. and a ton of them in L.A.
#391 of 425 H2s by paisan Jun 06, 2003 (7:09 am)
I see em just like burbans, and yukons.   They are essentially the same vehicle.   -mike
#392 of 425 H2's by leedavidyoung Jun 06, 2003 (10:40 am)
They are all over Atlanta. The dealer here likes to add a low mount step bar that cuts the vehicle's ground clearance in half. He has over 20 on his lot and a good selection of H1's as well.
#393 of 425 Side steps on the H2 by paisan Jun 06, 2003 (10:55 am)
I broke the side step on the H2 at the car show here. I generally test the side steps of SUVs by grabbing the grab handle inside and jump up and down 2 or 3 times on the steps. The H2 just bent down about 2" when I did that. POSes   -mike
#394 of 425 Isuzu GBX by cptsesso Jun 06, 2003 (4:25 pm)
It is a shame that people buy only for the name. I would definately have picked the the GBX over the Element. Much more rugged and functional than the Honda.   I wonder who had the concept first? I would have to guess that it was an Isuzu design, since they seem to always have those far out concepts. I am sure if Isuzu was a brand name the GBX would have come to life.   I have seen a few Elements around and the one thing that turns me off about them are the undersized rims and tires. They just don't seem to fit the proportions and style of the vehicle. I guess with only a small 4 cylinder pulling it around, the last thing it needs is the weight of larger rims and tires.
#395 of 425 Honda v. Isuzu by paisan Jun 08, 2003 (8:14 pm)
How do we explain the SLX and Passports very low sales v. Rodeo/Trooper? They carried the "honda/acura" name but still didn't sell?   -mike
