    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.

    Crappy looking. What’s even worse is the jappy rubber-band thin rubber on the tires ….like you’re going to corner hard enough in that for the reduced sidewall to help. Puuhhh-leaasssseee!!! :haha:

    Yeah, another crappy feature. Not only that but the whole vehicle pratically looks plastic! icon_vomit1.gif

    You’d be mad if you knew that Michael Schumacher (formula one champion) was one the most involved in the advertising of that….. “car” icon_eek.gif :yikes:

    Yes !!! 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 ?

    I think it is ugly, but like has been said is functional. Another one is a couple of minivans look like dust busters on wheels.

    It is, the reliablity is there but they forgot about the styling! icon_eek.gif

    Ahhhhyes. The Ford minivans were notorious for that. Too much rake on the windshield icon_sad.gif

    That “Multiple Vomit” one Cobra posted looks like it has a tumor icon_eek.gif

    It looks like its a box on wheels and nothing else. I like the Jeep Hurricane’s concept as for SUVs
