As for the Element's target market, I once read someone's derisive post on an ultralight backpacking forum somewhere as follows:

"North Face wearing, Mountain House eating, Honda Element driving 'outdoors people'"

That sums it up pretty well.
No dispute about fuel economy; I forgot the Element was rated so poorly.

I can’t comment on the backpacker’s remark. If you listen to some people’s input, Brown manual diesel RWD I6 wagons should be running away with the market.
