One for the dog lovers - Honda now offers a Dog Friendly equipment group option for the Element. "The Dog Friendly accessory package (MSRP $995) is a dealer-installed options group that can be added to any 2009 or newer Honda Element EX model (the 2010 Element arrives in showrooms later this month). If you live with a small-to-medium-sized dog and are considering a 2009 or newer Honda Element, the Dog Friendly accessory package has a lot to offer you and your furry pal."

Uh-oh, I was seriously looking at these until I saw this. It is those of us with large beasts who need special vehicles for them. Surely this cannot be correct, since the picture shows a large dog on the ramp. For that matter, only large dogs need ramps. The other problem with the Element is that it is so short, and I wonder how safe it would be in an accident. Yes, I know it has good ratings, but those tests are done with other vehicles of the same size and weight. Still, this is a great concept. I have been looking to get a larger vehicle to carry my Pointer and my Lab. They don't fit well in the back seat of my car.
