Did I just buy an SUV?

I didn't mean to. I am an environmentalist. Really. But before I knew it, there it was, in front of my house.

    dgholstein: Element V6?

    I, too, drive a Honda Element. It's a 2006 model. It has a 4 cylinder engine and, to the best of my knowledge, so does every other Honda Element ever made. I believe the Honda Pilot has a V6 though. I like my Element a lot, it's been almost the perfect compromise do it all vehicle that gets 23-24 MPG. I especially like the fact that it doesn't have carpet. But given the weather we've been having in Oregon lately, I've been wistfully eyeing something with more ground clearance and more off-road capability - like a Toyota FJ Cruiser. Just sayin'.
