I am a fan of form and function. The Element is missing the form element and yeah I’ll say it has function. It can go from point A to point B but it won’t do it in style. This is one of those car that doesn’t fair well with aftermarket accessories.

May 31, 2005 at 10:38 pm #12529AnonymousInactiveYes !!! and when I first saw it I thought it was a fake add… Then I saw it on a TV commercial, I just could not believe it.
There had been quite a few articles in magazines and newspapaers about that in Europe, some said of course that M. Schumacher needed some ca$h at that time which was completely false.
The true story is that Fiat probably knew that the “thing” would have a very hard time to get sold, so they have used the image of the actual most famous formula one competitor to give a “good picture” of the thing…
Even though it remains an ugly car, there are some all over Europe, they are very convenient and reliable for what they are…
Amazing isnt’ it ?May 31, 2005 at 10:42 pm #12530GTO ManModeratorI think it is ugly, but like has been said is functional. Another one is a couple of minivans look like dust busters on wheels.
