I almost want to praise it for the utility aspect (ala element)

but it is not an attractive little sucker at all.....i actually like the element.

A new Honda MPV. Hate the looks, but the shape assures utility. Is it coming to the U.S.?

When was the last time you saw a JDM MPV imported to North America?

10 years ago? (Odyssey?)

Very functional! I'm diggin' the fold-em-up seats (i.e. Element)

I read somewhere that the Japanese design their cars around functionality, whereas GM/Ford/Chrysler design to a target cost (kudos to Chrysler for the 1st minivan... wait, what am I saying?!)

I keep looking at this thing...and damnit if it isnt growing on me...the functionality is too damn good.

And if my freelance takes off this time around I might have to drop having a "sportier" car for something more functional Which is why I was thinking element...even though I love the new A3.

This thing seems to fit the bill as well.

Yeah. And then the Mazda MPV. But who knows... they may think there's a market for it here. That's why I asked. Personally, I love the functionality, and the hardwood floors are cool. The styling isn't hittin' on anything though. Especially that rear... they could have done more.

Interesting. It looks very narrow. I like the laminate wood floor!

Wish they would put that interior in a newly designed element. Engineered wood floor system makes sense considering the durability vs carpet in a cargo area, seems most companies would rather opt for plastic in the US though.

The element doesnt have carpet. Its like a polyurethane floor. unless this is what you are meaning from your last sentence.

Well, it's probably more practical if it was not real wood anyhow...and cheaper.
