The Honda Element. Is it a box, a car, a truck, or an SUV? The correct answer is SUV, although there are a fair number of drivers who say it's replaced their truck and an equal number who say it's a great car for getting toddlers in and out and doing errands around town. In fact, there is enough love for this little SUV that Honda Element owners' clubs exist all around the country - and there's a huge market for Element accessories. First introduced in 2002, it was designed to capture younger drivers with its front and rear bumpers, dent-resistant rocker panels and rear seats that stow to the side rather than fold down. And, its rear door is a double door: one opens upward, the other folds down like a tailgate. The Element also has a variation of suicide doors - the kind where the door handles of the reard doors butt up against the door handles of the front doors. Unlike real suicide doors though, the front doors of the Element must be open in order to open the rear doors.
