Replying to: bluewolf (Jun 04, 2005 10:38 am) IMO, the angle of the windshield probably has something to do with this, but I'd check any reports you see to find out what year vehicle is being discussed. It's my impression that the problems were significant in '03 but have lessened (presumably due to an alteration ?) to the point where it's close to a non-issue in '05.

To ask those who already own the vehicle what kind of experience they're having, visit our regular Honda Element discussion, and owners will be happy to give you feedback.   kirstie_h Roving Host Host, Future Vehicles & Smart Shopper discussions
#392 of 729 does Honda rip off Canadians? by mortomozoid Jun 12, 2005 (6:48 pm)
3 days ago I was in Grand Forks , North Dakota and in the middle of the mall was a brand new Element automatic AWD with $ 19,900 written on the windshield. About a month previously I went to look at an identically equipped Element here in Winnipeg, Canada and the sticker was 31,000 and change.(Canadian). According to my calculation with the Canadian dollar being worth 80 cents U.S. the multiplier of the American price should be 1.25 which translates to a Canadian equivalent value of $24,875, so therefore Honda rips off Canadians to the tune of about 6,000 dollars per vehicle.Is the Element built in the U.S., and if it is the excuse that Canada has a 6.1% duty on non NAFTA cars cannot be used to explain away some of this ripoff, or am I all wet?

Replying to: mortomozoid (Jun 12, 2005 6:48 pm) For one thing, $19,900 is not the MSRP, it was some type of a sale price, so you are not comparing apples to apples.

I just bought a new 2005 Element LX 4WD w/ AT in Cargo Khaki. I paid $17,995 including destination fee. No trade-in.

Replying to: mortomozoid (Jun 12, 2005 6:48 pm) Honda doesn't rip off Canadains. Automakers have very large FX exposures that they hedge years in advance. The simple fact is that the US dollar is back down to historical lows (3 years ago was 1.64 now 1.235). As a result Canadians can and should be buying Honda Elements in the USA to save money.
