I went to the Honda dealer to check out the '07 CR-V. Very nice, but I was disappointed that it seems to have less usable cargo space than the previous model. I'm still considering it, but less enthusiastically. While I was there, I checked out the Element. Never having seen the inside of one before, I was intrigued. As a single guy who has been with a Prelude for many years, the idea of being able to stow the rear seats and haul stuff is extremely appealing. In fact, increased space is the reason I'm planning to ditch the Prelude and go with something bigger. Unfortunately, I suspect that the maximum weight capacity may be a fatal flaw. I have a hard time with the idea of buying a vehicle this size that cannot accommodate 4 adult males. I go out to lunch with co-workers regularly, and it would be nice to be able to drive sometimes.

I didn't really notice any difference in performance when having the 4 adults in the car, but then again, I don't really push it whn I drive it.

I am just a teen so I don't think I will get any where near that 675lb load capacity. But every one I know loads the Element to the roof and they have no problem with how it handles. So I don't think it would be any problem. Honda made the Element to be used to get you and your gear where you need to be, so I think Honda knew what they were doing.

Has anyone contemplated to install an SC front end (nose) on a regular '07, '06, '0x EX? I priced the parts at approx. $1000.-- and think it would greatly enhance the appearance of the car... It appears that all the lines are the same, and likely so are the connection points...

| I'm just going to a Community College close to home. And I do not drink! An ways it a law that goes effect in Ohio that if your under age you can only have one other person with you that is under 18 with you. (excluding family memebers. So I don't think I'll have a problem. | |
