Toronto, Ontario - Honda has announced the new 2007 Element SC, which provides more than ten additional features, including the first standard 18-inch wheels from Honda. The SC also includes a lowered ride height, sport-tuned suspension, aero grille, project beam headlights, painted bumpers, exclusive interior with carpeted floor, centre console with storage, piano black trim and exclusive fabrics.

In addition to the SC, the entire Element model line-up undergoes a transformation for 2007, with freshened styling, 10 more horsepower, a new available five-speed automatic transmission and extensive new standard safety equipment, including side curtain airbags and vehicle stability assist.

The SC also includes a 270-watt high-output audio system with MP3/WMA capability and auxiliary input, body-coloured composite body panels, uniquely-shaped painted side sills and slimmer roof mouldings. The SC comes in front-wheel drive only.

Just a one-off concept car at SEMA...
http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/10/...t-d-drift-car/
Honda at the SEMA auto show unveiled the Honda Element-D drift racecar. Built for the racing sport of drifting, the Honda Element-D racecar replaces the stock 4-cylinder/Real Time(TM) 4WD drivetrain with a custom-designed and longitudinally-mounted 3.2-liter Honda V6 and rear-wheel-drive.
Producing 500-horsepower, the lightweight twin-turbocharged powerhouse is guaranteed to light up the rear tires and accelerate sideways at full opposite lock. Associates from Honda R&D Americas, Inc., in Ohio plan to campaign the Element-D in the 2007 Formula Drift Series.

yeah i work at honda canada and i drive them everyday. yeah that car is sweet. Alot of room when you put the seats up in the rear....

JEFFOS69

I saw a black one like that already on the road - it looks wayyyy way better. Still isnt anything special but it looks like a real vehicle instead of a plastic box.

Wow an answer to a question nobody asked.

Honda is my fave car company but WTF is the logic??? Hell carpet floors in an element... did honda forget to put an A on the grille???

FuzzyLS BRO SEDAN

Honda Canada did their homework. Element SC would be avaliable all over Canada. Scion XB is avaliable in the USA only. Why doesn't Scion come to Canada? Any particular reason?

JDM_gsR

I like those cars. Very versatile.

bbTeg

likely the 7km/h vs 5mh bumper restriction, very ghey.

there was an article about this in Honda Tuning along with the Civic Si Sedan. It looks better than before.

TwoSix

only the scion Tc failed the crash test by canadian standars, the other two models passed and can be imported here

TwoSix

i sent them an email a while back, asking if they had plans to bring scion here. they said that they did a lot of research and found their cars to be most suited for american audiences, and that a demand was not seen in canada.
