I really like it. With the end of the world near, we need an armageddon vehicle that'll get us the hell out of NYC.

But seriously, we had an Element for 2 years and loved the utility of it, but hated the fact that it was made to look like an all terrain vehicle, but was not built for anything hairier than hard packed sand at the beach.

It's the car of choice in Newport Beach Ca for high school and college age girls. At least that's all I see behind the wheel.

Seems like a nice entry level station wagon, grooming the girls into their role as soccer moms, next step Range Rovers.

Now that I've seen a half dozen or so in person, I think they are a little retarded. The look varies between cool and hack/slash sloppy imo, and the utility just isn't there compared to Toyota's other trucks. People buy this truck to be different, and it certainly is, so you can't fault them for that though.

Heck no, when I go for my daily run and my little boys tag along on their bikes I will them take them to the park if the oversized inlanders are plopped on the sand. So instead of running on the boardwalk I will run at our local MILF park .

Trophy wives giving the nannies a break and tending to their own wearing sports bras and shorts, it's a good thing.

Just make sure you see plenty of Range Rovers and the view is good.

I liked them originally but now I think they are a little cheesy looking.Also the rear doors are a little annoying.

I would lose the 2 tone look

I like it, but agree about the two-tone paint. Makes it look cheap...

it's a fad vehicle. the car's styling is only cool up to the point where you see them all over the road. think H2, PT cruiser, etc. they were cool and in high demand when first introduced. nowadays, noone really care for them.
