Love it or hate it?

The Scion xB (or Honda Element) is pretty much a 'Wow, that's cool' or 'Damn, that's ugly' kinda car.

What's your opinion?

[wyndhy]

it's certainly boxy

[lizzardbits]

I like the "Pimp My Ride" version of it and the Alpine Audio DJ version, but other wise the plain stock version looks like a car that i would have built out of Lego blocks back when i was a kid, LOL

[MilkToast]

While I attach the term "fugly" to them, I can most certainly see how they have some very good utility to them. I even considered a Honda Element a while back. Only thing is that it had no towing capacity so that was the end of that.

ewwwies

I saw one of these driving down the street of my tiny town today and thought, "What the hell was that???"

With my love affair of any automobile being long over, I don’t stay up on them and the styling today of most has become a blur from when makes stood out. (75 Fleetwood vs Blair ) I don’t know if it will be a real Hummer when it grows up, but that looks like a good Urban Assault Vehicle for today, strictly from appearance.

Yeah, but it ain't no EM-50! :p

[PantyFanatic]

Yeah, but it ain't no EM-50! :p
Now THAT has distinctive styling. ;)

That it does... and a flamethrower. :D

[musicman]

and bulletproof plating!

[Stolen Kisses]

To square for me

[dicksbro]

Not my choice of favorite styles ...

[BIBI]

Boring....

You might cut yourself on those boxy fenders.

[Cheyanne]

I am not sure.. but it does remind me of the International Harvester Travelall that my dad owned in 1973....

Check it out.. :D

[Sharni]

Ewwwww....looks like a box with wheels

[Aqua]

Ewwwww....looks like a box with wheels
That's pretty much what it is... lol.

[jay-t]

Looks like a MINI that got wet and swelled up,I put it in the same class as AMC Pacer

[Pita]

I think its kind of cool and kind of ugly. So I didn't vote. :D


I do think it looks like a good car for tall people. :)

[WildIrish]

I know someone with an Element and they love it.

And as far as boxy goes...the Subaru isn't much rounder. :D

[osuche]

I think it's lovely...but then again, you're soliciting the opinion of a Volvo owner. :D

[scotzoidman]

Funny you should bring it up now, the "Car Talk" guys on NPR have been compiling an Ugly car list lately, & the Scion & the Element were right there at the top...also getting Dishonorable Mention was the Pontiac Aztex (described as looking like it was designed by 2 different committees that weren't allowed to consult each other till they met at the B-pillar)...all the more startling (to me anyway) because it's a product from vererable old GM, who doesn't usually allow radical design errors like that into production...

btw, lmao at PF's "will it be a Hummer when it grows up"...

[dicksbro]

I do think it looks like a good car for tall people. :)

... or a tall car for good people? :) JK

[imaginewithme]

I just can't get into those cars..too square, I myself like a sleek, fast ride.

[wyndhy]
