Is this redesign? Or a mid-cycle refresh?

I'd still not buy it - it's a useless mix of utility and hipster loudmouth treehugger design.

But it looks better than the last one.

The SC looks better and the interior is given a much needed upgrade. Looks very Japanese

It looks nicer than the current model. I used to like the Element until I sat in one. Felt like a Tupperware box.

Personally, I wish the Element, xB, and all those small boxy cars would just die and go away. They all look like crap. Sure, they sell well but man are they ugly.

They sell for a reason.....versatility. The square bodies may not look chic, but they are space-efficient, and the Element's AWD will get you through the, well......elements.

mmhmm... In Japan where the streets are narrow, these boxes rule with compact dimensions and ridiculously large cargo carrying capacity (by that, we meet speakers and a mobile DJ set lol)
